Is this a tooth or a stone?

Answer

Dear MH

Objects of this type are often found in Zeeland (Cadzand, Kalloot, ..). Enthusiasts search there almost every day for fossil shark teeth, shells and bones. I suspect you have found a fossil bone of a vertebrate, eg from a mammal or possibly from a fish.

I am not very familiar with vertebrate fossils, but if you want to know more, post your find with photos in different views than on Paleontica, also indicate a scale (eg with a coin) and state the exact location. I’m pretty sure you’ll get good suggestions.

Paleontica (formerly fossiel.net) is a comprehensive information platform for anyone interested in fossils. Whether you are young or old, layman or specialist, it doesn’t matter: there is something interesting for everyone on the site. If you want to post a find all you need to do is create an account and you are off on a journey back into the history of life on Earth. Have a nice trip!
