I live in west central Indiana. Yesterday I took the kids, nephews and
niece, down to my little creek. One of them broke open a rock and decided to
keep it, because it was sparkly inside. When I looked at it later I saw what
looks to be a tooth , it's about the same size and shape as my Labs canines,
the entire pointed end is exposed and most of one side. It's dull black with
striations running down it. Any thoughts on what animal it may have come
from? I can attempt to photograph it if desired, my 8 year old niece is
curious what it came from, and I am to. ;-) I figure to be imbedded in the
rock it has to be fairly old.
Thanks in advance.
