Found this recently. A college professor identified it as a very nice specimen of mastodon teeth. Mastodons (and mammoths), of course, were elephant-like animals that went extinct about 10,000 years ago. So, this find is special to me and I decided to make up a "display photo" by combining a photo of it with a photo of red satin fabric. Not an image most folks would care to use as wallpaper, but I wanted to share this. The fossil is about 5 inches, left-to-right, as viewed here.
