Pitviper Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Or possibly deer antler?? This was found in Big Brook, cretaseous NJ. "Nothing happens in contradiction to nature, only to what we know of it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 it's definitely not antler material. it's some kind of tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitviper Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Sorry, I should remember to include that. It's 1.75 inches along the curve and 1" strait line. "Nothing happens in contradiction to nature, only to what we know of it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordpiney Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 i dont think its a pig incisor, but if it is it's an upper incisor. i think it's from something else, just not sure what. ask harry pristis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Owens Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 It's not Cretaceous. It has to be from the Cenozoic Era (recent to 65MM yrs). It reminds me of a Beaver tooth, but I haven't run accross mine yet to compare. -----"Your Texas Connection!"------ Fossils: Windows to the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Tapir incisor perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilshk Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 It should be the mammal tooth fossil.But I dont think it is Cretaceous period.Because the Cretaceous mammal is very small.The age of this one may very young .... around :Cenozoic .

Boesse Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have an identical specimen found in a creek near San Jose. Long ago on the fossilweb.com site someone (Harry Pristis I believe) ID'd it as an unworn Equus incisor. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have an identical specimen found in a creek near San Jose. Long ago on the fossilweb.com site someone (Harry Pristis I believe) ID'd it as an unworn Equus incisor.Bobby I don't know which animal produced this third incisor (an upper, I guess). Could be from an equid, but some artiodactyls have strange, asymmetrical incisors, also. Here's one, thouogh these are lowers. 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...
