Anyone know what this is?

[treasurehuntr2]

It is thumb-sized and feel like it "petrified". One side super smooth, the other side sort of rough. Anyone know what it is?

Maybe a fossilized shark tooth that had been fashioned as a pendant I do think the flat end was cut by man.

thanks for the input. Are some tusks smooth and ROUNDED at the end?

Would like a pic of the flat end close up.

Yes, I agree, but just didn't know"they" made teeth that look like that!*$#

When interfered with by man, yes. ie cut & polished.

Tusk pedant may be a better call. Reckon it still could be a shark tooth that had been rounded/smoothed in ocean

I'm not 100% sure, but its more likely a sea animal tusk than a land one.

Maybe walrus tooth?

something along that line seems to be the general consensus, thank you....

To me it looks like possibly fossilized antler, but it might be something else. The saw marks will eventually tell in what age it was fashioned. Off hand the marks seem very regular and made with a more modern metal saw.

fossil type croc or gator tooth
