Anyone care to identify a tooth we found sorting through the museum dirt?  It looks like a minature chocolate chip or morsel.  It 's got a flat round base with a small pointed dagger blade coming up from the base.  All of my pictures of it aren't any good due to me getting sand in the camera while I was in the mine back in March.  If anyone has a decent picture of what they think it could be, please feel free to post and I'll let you know if that's it.

Thanks

Jack

Jack, my first thought was that you are perhaps describing a bramble shark dermal denticle, or some other type of denticle.  I have a pic of a bramble denticle, but I can't seem to get it to upload here (keep getting a runtime error).  Send me an email and I'll reply with the pic I have.
