worthy 55 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) No, I don't think it is a mommoth molar . I can see it better now and the ridges have a cuped surface and no enamel either. This is my little mammoth tooth note the ridges on thr surface. So back to square one. Edited November 2, 2009 by worthy 55 It's my bone!!!

tracer Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 go you! dinos are better than mammoths! it's amazing how obvious stuff is to me after people point it out. ok, so forget all that pleistocene drivel i made up. i'm just not used to thinking in terms of duck-billed bison because we don't have those anywhere in my area. but with the better pictures, and going back and looking more carefully at the first, it's clear that i got fooled by two things. first, not thinking outside my normal frame of reference, and second, making the very mistake that i cautioned against in a post the other day, by "matching" the specimen to general morphological characteristics and not looking at the thing carefully and holistically. i won't blame it on the pictures, because when i went back and looked the first ones more carefully, it doesn't match mammoth. i'm very fortunate to be the forum fool so that i can be wrong frequently and not feel too bad. <snoopy-dancing out of the room with the light step of one from whom the heavy burden of correctness has been lifted> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
