What area of the country was it found? Larry C.

It is a fossil.... Tooth does come to mind,I have seen something familiar to this,not that long ago.....It might be a mastodon ....
Get it cleaned up,delicatly and lets see the finished piece...

Sorry I'm behind on here,but we are packing up for Montana to rockhound and visit family...

God,family and life.....

Be careful big guy.. Lots of tourist traffic still out there these days. Great id, as aways, on the teeth fossil. Should have a better name so that we all who love fossils the most.. grin

Have fun in Montana and be safe...

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
