Guest Cris Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Very very cool stuff! Mammoth teeth look soooo different when they're from over there than they do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricFlorida Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 That's the way they're supposed to look, just most of ours are so dang eroded. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 Actually I usually only find crumbling enamel fragments. For the longest time I swore that mammoths spit out all their teeth in FL and then migrated to TX to die. While this is only the end of a mammoth tooth, it is the most complete one I've found in 3-4 years of hard searching. You'll surely hear about it when I finally get a complete one. Grüße, Daniel A.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Nice finds. What is that last one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 SS The last one is the centrum of a mammoth vert 7" in diameter. The sand dollars are Protoscutella mississippiensis and are Eocene in age. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."

Roz Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I love that sand dollar, and of course the rest. I have an intact mammoth or mastodon tooth on my wish list of fossils that someday I hope to find. Unfortunately my list grows as time goes on. Welcome to the forum!

Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Actually I swapped a guy on this board some specimens for site info and the sand dollars came from one of his hard earned sites.
