Found this on the Ashley River in SC. Any ideas on what type tooth it might be? I was initially thinking maybe a broken shark tooth, but it's pretty rounded and thinner at the root. Who knows [emoji16]. I'd love to hear some ideas! Thanks
Where I have been looking 99% of the fossils are black ( guessing that just the sediment ( phosphate beds) so this stood out. I found some itty bitty shark teeth and a bunch of bone bits. Guessing mostly whale, dugong. I honestly don't know the first thing on fossils other than the little I have read and found online. I don't want to be a pain in the ass and post a million "help" discussions. Have you come across many dugong teeth? I think I may have one... Kinda along the line of horse teeth? Grazer teeth? Any way. I appreciate your help Gator Boy! I have seen a lot of your posts, sweet collection [emoji1]
YOWZA [emoji2]. That would kick ass! Same beach. I have been trying to find similar teeth online and it just didn't quite match up with the grazers I could find. Can you give me any suggestions for good resources for a beginner? Thanks a bunch!
No problem I love this stuff.
You could spend a lot of time filtering through information all over the internet but I think it would probably serve you better to look at the fossil forum and specifically your area
Funky...
At first I thought maybe coral but looking closer I think it might be a piece of fossil sediment.. It was probably full of decomposing biological matter that created gas bubbles.
