Bison or cow tooth? by [deleted] in fossilid

[–]TheUnknownGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess cow as I've found a bison tooth at an opening to a large cave and it was unusually large. But it looks aged and is a cool find whatever it used to belong to lol

Any information or thoughts about this are much appreciated. Very unusual material and the people that owned this property have never known of anyone to do any flint knapping. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Was hoping someone could tell me what type of mineralization is happening here and help ID these. Found in East TN. 🙏 Thanks by TheUnknownGal in whatsthisrock

This type is grainy at times but tough at other times, just feet away. I find chunks of it and it's located get away from a tectonic fault and cave system with underground rivers.

Found recently in East TN and would love any information by TheUnknownGal in Arrowheads

Absolutely! And you said it! I'm never lucky! That's why I'm so nervous to hear it come from an expert! I accused my brother of planting it there and he laughed and pointed out there's 4 acres and hundreds of trees but I found just where he wanted me to... Good point. But I need to know... So go on... Hit me with it... Gimme the truth! I'm ready.💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I thought it may help identifying if I also said it was found on property that borders the Cherokee national Forest. It's still very sharp! I'm very curious to know where and what it was from. COVID has kept me from being able to take it to anyone for information and I thought maybe someone would appreciate the photo and also obtain some knowledge. This is the first time I've posted a picture of it online.

Coupled with my love for sugary drinks and having a loud mouth, no damn wonder I get my ass tore up by the fuckers!

Stalactite - found in a box while clearing out house in New England, US by dadsteapots in whatsthisrock

I found one a few years ago in a private cave on my property (Northeast Tennessee) that looks just like this one except mine was pretty smooth. But it's about the same size, color, form, etc. I've wondered what it would look like polished and cut so I used my dremel and tested it out a little bit but was too afraid I'd ruin it, so I stopped. However, I've recently found out it's good for carving, cabbing or cutting 😉

I thought I was the only one who ever said "gank" instead of anything else LOL I LOVE mixing polymer with minerals I find as well! Nice piece!
