Fossildude19 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Please post more pics of the ends of the item. Views of the "ends" will be helpful in making a confident ID.

Auspex Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 In the second picture especially, the object appears to be crushed (not just fractured): this is a decidedly un-toothlike trait. Any insight as to the geology of the site at which it was found?

Harry Pristis Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 If it IS a tooth, it is the root end of the tooth, not the crown. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Looks like a limonite or other iron mineral concretion. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Seeing the new end-view picture, I agree with 'ironstone' concretion.

PleistoGuy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 If it IS a tooth, it is the root end of the tooth, not the crown. I agree, if is tooth at all, its a root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
