Any tooth fossil collectors want to solve an almost 3 year mystery for me?

[Crispii]

No, sorry... Today we had to go to a mental therapy thing and a woodshop to practice my cutting for a board Im making and then when we came home... I honestly just wanted to chill...

One person said it could be a croc/gator (though needs a better pic to confirm) and another said it could be a tooth or horn coral

I looked up horn coral fossil, and some pieces do look like it... Here is some more photos... Im still hoping its from a spino

It's a devil horn, I haven't seen one in thousands of years but when you bash the demon spawn in the mouth, they shed those.

any idea or guesses as to how old the fossil is?

 

[Rocky998]

Well its black... So probably over 1000 years old... Maybe

If its a spino, then its over 65million years old

do you know the formation?

do you know the formation?

What do you mean by "formation"? Its straight... Maybe with a mild curve to it and it has some wear and tear on it

I'm old, alright, I'm a fossil, happy, I'm an old relic, aka a fossil

YOU WILL BE A FINE ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION

So, if you look up "black spinosaurus tooth" they look EXACTLY like the tooth I found... Then I searched "black crocodile tooth" and all the teeth were curved, I didnt see one straight croc tooth. I did search the horn coral and if Im being honest, it also looks like that, th problem with it though, is that my fossil looks A LOT like a tooth rather than coral

send a picture of it to the museum and have a ruler near the tooth so they can see how big it is.

Sorry for you Rocky, no Spinosaurus, a formation is a geological layer, actually you should know what formation is it, all formations on Earth are actually known, I've no idea and I'm learning English, although I myself in my childhood in Spain also collected some fossils, you don't mentioned a nautiloide wich is a ancestor of ammonites and should be very ols, ordovician or so, but in order to identify this you must first know the formation where it comes from because it could be anything (perhaps no identifiable). I would try to contact the museum of natural history in New York, they have a very good reputation.

 

[MonsieurLaGrenuoille]

Sorry for the mistakes...

 

[Rocky998]

I guess I don't know what you mean by "formations" then... I looked up black spinosaurus tooth and found this:
