    Can someone help with this? My nephew pulled it up off the coast of New Jersey.

    @karen-metcalf  This looks like a mastodon tooth to me.  Even if it is some other kind of tooth it is a super find!

    Yes that is a great find.  Mastodon is correct, I believe.

    It’s the molar tooth of a mastodon (Mammut americanum) and a relatively complete & nicely preserved example of one at that. Excellent find!

    Your nephew must work on a clamming vessel. Nice find!
