Hello,
First time writing. I was wondering if someone could identify this fossil. My daughter found it in our gravel driveway. Looks like a possible tooth, but nothing I've seen matches it exactly. It's broken (but not smooth at the break). It is approximatly 3/4 of an inch long.

Any help would be appreciated,

Mark from Texas.

Hi Mark Sure very interesting (and mysterious) looking. I couldn't tell from the photo what it is. I think one needs to see this with the naked eye...

I don't understand your last remark:

Thanks for the reply. What I meant in my last statement was that the tooth or bone appears to have been broken before it was fossilized because the spot where it was broken looks like the jagged edge of a broken bone or tooth

Thanks,

Looks to me that it might be a stingray tooth.

These Micro-fossils are common in the badlands of Alberta around Drumheller, Canada and Montana.

A stingray tooth 1" long? Is that possible?
