Fun forum thread, @llundgren! I have insider knowledge about the tooth you posted, so I won’t answer because it feels like cheating 😉
@julie-niederkorn – Very nice jack-o-fossil (lol)! What kind of adhesive did you use to attach the teeth?
Below is my “spooky” fossil. The image is unfortunately fuzzy and lacking anything for scale (sorry!) because I was taking the picture through display glass at the Big Bone Lick State Park welcome center/museum. @cferrara, @lcone, @willis-dc, and others who went to the park prior to the Cincinnati Mini Conference this past June might recognize it!
Hints:
(1) Ice Age megafauna.
(2) The prominent hole would have been painful for the large herbivore to receive.
(3) The carnivore who inflicted the bite hole was a member of the family Ursidae.
