What is it?

Looks like a horse tooth. If you take a picture of the occlusal end (the one facing away from the tape measure) it will probably have a wavy pattern on the surface.

Thanks

Why don’t you think it’s a horse? Maybe @jeanette-pirlo or @smoran could chime in with their mammal knowledge.

thanks @jennifer-bauer. it looks wider and shorter than a horse tooth, it doesnt look broken either and it has 4 root holes if that helps any

This is a horse tooth for sure. We have found some fairly large teeth in the creeks as well, but def a horse tooth.

Ok, thanks a bunch 😊 @jeanette-pirlo

@daniel-murrhee where did you find it? At first glance it looks like a bunch of clams in a rock but it’s hard to tell!

@jennifer-bauer I found it in Black Creek. I thought it was a piece of mammoth tooth the “matrix” around what may be “clams” has a bone type feel but idk?

@daniel-murrhee – I considered tooth too but it looks really odd with those patterns. It could just be really weathered? @jeanette-pirlo is a expert in verts, I see inverts everywhere because my love for them is so strong.

Thank you @ jennifer-bauer I think you’re right. 😊

I don’t think it’s an elephant tooth, at least not from this angle, but the left swiggle (that’s a technical term right?) looks really interesting. Could you upload another picture of that side?

sure😊 @jeannette-pirlo

clump of oysters?

it’s some kind of shell deposit, probably oyster. @wendy-middleton
