Friday fossil guessing game

Labels: , ,


For some weekend fun, try to guess what this is a fossil of. (Yes, fossil guessing games are considered "fun" at Leave the lights on.) This object was unearthed in a paleontologist's yard by Hurricane Ike. Makes me wonder how many unrecognized fossils were unearthed in non-paleontologists' yards!

The first person to guess correctly, or the person whose guess is closest, will get, well, some sort of prize. I'm thinking a lovely graphic. It may not be good sportsmanship to use Google to help you, but if you're comfortable with it, then nothing is stopping you.

Hmm, hard to tell from just one small photo, especially for those of us who aren't anything like fossil experts. The ribbing on the surface reminds me of a large bivalve fossil I once owned, but my guess is going to be a tooth from a large herbivore, mastodon or something like that.
