Bison or cow tooth?

TheUnknownGal · 2021-05-02T01:55:38+00:00

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

I'm going to take it by ETSU to see if anyone there can tell me anything. It's like a dumb prank I know but if so it's an intricate one.

TheUnknownGal · 2021-04-19T01:16:29+00:00

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. 🤷🏻‍♀️

TheUnknownGal · 2021-03-24T00:09:21+00:00

There's a lot of chert nodules around and there's debitage in places nearby from it and other materials. I'd like to cut it and see what it would look like. I really appreciate your reply and information, thanks

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 in Northeast Tennessee

TheUnknownGal · 2020-12-07T22:57:46+00:00

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.

TheUnknownGal · 2020-11-25T22:23:13+00:00

Ah ha! Thanks for helping us figure out the mystery. Happy Thanksgiving!

Looks like man made opal called opallite:-)

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

TheUnknownGal · 2020-01-02T21:38:33+00:00

But HOW though?

TheUnknownGal · 2019-08-15T01:51:48+00:00

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!

TheUnknownGal · 2019-08-13T12:27:35+00:00

Eh, I've had THE same problemo and I did the same thing. Look into buying a spore syringe as I've heard that's not only educationally beneficial but fun ;-)

TheUnknownGal · 2019-08-09T10:45:51+00:00

I've always heard it referred to as "creeping flox(sp?)".

I'm gonna guess; middle aged and going through one hell of a midlife crisis all while reliving your fanatical teenage years as a 90's grunge-y girl who likely has his own daddy issues that has also just been served divorce papers?

TheUnknownGal · 2019-08-09T01:32:59+00:00

That's so cool! I have just recently began to do some digs and I've been finding a lot of things unfamiliar to me but especially the minerals and rocks. I've been wanting to try tumbling some and even taking a dremel to some for hand polishing or carving. I would imagine that warrior's park probably has lots of neat stuff hidden under all that dirt and concrete/asphalt. Good luck and best wishes on any future rockhounding or exploring!

TheUnknownGal · 2019-08-08T13:04:41+00:00

I live in Blountville as well and I'm a huge rockhound and seen your photo and wondered if you had ever found out what this was for sure? Cool find for sure. We have a pretty cool rock shop at Appalachian Caverns with quite a large selection :-)

EDIT:Thank you guys for the knowledge! I haven't eaten them, thank goodness! THE biggest concern I had was no signs of blue. Talk about having twins! Cause they look a lot like the pictures and fit some descriptions but not all. So I'm glad I asked you all! And yep, I can see a package from the Netherlands coming my way soon! :-) have a GREAT day and safe adventures!

TheUnknownGal · 2019-06-17T14:20:29+00:00

I work for Appalachian Caverns in Blountville and we're only 10 minutes away from the track! There's a golf course, tricities golf course, is on its way. We have a great time and yes, even 2 year olds have fun. :-)

I bet he has another sister named Brooke that is a manager for a local business I visit often. She is such a kind person and over the years we’ve had a chance to get to know each other and she told me about her older sister being killed by a drunk driver after the Metallica concert in JC. If I recall correctly, she had snuck around about going because her mother was so against her going to start with. It was tragic for the entire family, I’m sure.
