Any idea what this is?

[jklingel]

My uneducated guess is fossilized wood, or just weird rock. Any suggestions as to what it is, or how better to determine that, are appreciated. Thanks. john

I was thinking mammoth tooth also

Have you ever found other fossils in that area? Might be a good idea to look; where there is one there will be more. Excellent find; what state?

Wow, definitely mammoth tooth. Great find. Did you find it here in Arizona? They say you can find them in the washes around here, after a good rain.

I replied last night, but don't see it posted here. Dunno what happened. Once it was suggested that this was a mammoth tooth, I knew what to google; sure enough, you folks were right. My wife found the tooth among rocks in a gravel delivery, so I won't be able to dig around for more, unfortunately. I am sure the pit owner and I agree that being run over by a 966 with 5 yards of gravel in his bucket would be a bad idea. A few years ago my son had some bison bones delivered; a 6" fragment and some horn tips that the museum identified for me. I am in Fairbanks, AK.
