jax Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 OK< Found this today in the Posk oak creek in Sherman, Tx. Not sure what formation it could have come from, Maybe mafia formation, (Someone sleeping with the fishes, and I found their tooth) I don't think its human, because it has a flat area on the tip of the tooth, and looking at my teeth, mine have no flat area. Pretty neat find, I was shocked when I pulled it out of the screen, I thought it was human for a while.... Thanks for looking, Justin ADDED MORE PICS ON THE BOTTOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabetts Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I knew I lost my tooth there, thanks for finding it. Just kidding, but it does look human to me. There is no telling how it got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Daniel AKA (Bones) Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Emailed the picture to a dentist friend. He said looked human to him. v = 0.25 * g0.5 * SL1.67 * h-1.17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Without fueling the "human/non-human" debate (since I am not qualified to speculate), I see heavy wear on the business end, and what looks like a nasty cavity. Wonder how old it is? (BTW: I read somewhere that different races have diagnostic shapes to the lingual side of their incisors.)

worthy 55 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yes, it does look like a human front tooth. It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 This fire is getting a little low.... Justin, could you please post a full spectrum of new photos (with measurement reference). It's time to bring the full power of the FORUM to bear on this ID. (I feel like Tim with a Binford 9000. ) Thanks, jax.

Ramo Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Jax, You could try putting it under your pillow tonight. I know from experience as a kid, if you put an animal tooth under your pillow the tooth fairy won't leave you any money. If it is a human tooth, you might get a quarter!

makoken Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Here is a few pictures to compare to. Moose or deer looks likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hmmm. Looks like several animals have human teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Daniel AKA (Bones) Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Moose and deer-The root reduces in diameter and is too long and thin. Human stays the same in diameter and has a short root. Still think it's human. Who's that guy that disappeared years ago in the union? Probably him. v = 0.25 * g0.5 * SL1.67 * h-1.17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Man, It looks just like that first tooth in the human pic. Pretty crazy. My dad thinks its a Indian tooth. Someone had to have been eating some hard stuff, cause its pretty worn down. I know a dentist, I need to track him down, and see if I can explain to him why I have this tooth Ramo, Tooth Fairy didnt leave me anything.....
