Todays Finds/Buffalo Tooth Awl?

[catherine1]

Rained yesterday, so I thought I would check out the areas we plowed. I believe these are all tools except for the broken Adena. I read a tread on here the other day about the buffalo teeth and Steve told me to keep a eye out for bone tools. This is definetly a tooth, that is polished on the top where my thumb is. With a awl tip on it. Thanks Keith. (Hope the pics are ok)

Ok guys, I just found this tooth and here is what I found out. My girlfriends sis has a degee in anthropology and happened to stop by. She said it was a pre-molar from a carnivor, most likely from a bear. I am posting a couple of better pics (I hope). The 1st is the bottom of the tooth. The 2nd is the polished top. Thanks Keith.
