Re: Cape fear river

Better lightimg and pics from different angles might help, especially a top view.

Looks like it could be a peccary molar. See if you can get a well lit close-up of the chewing surface.

Re: Cape fear river
I added a few more pics, they are the best I can do for now.  I found this in an area I usaually find giant white teeth, modern great whites, mosasour, tigers, mako and ray teeth.  Plus others I can't id.  Hope this helps if not, maybe I'll met sone of you in person and show you then.  Thanks again Brad

Re: Cape fear river

Brad, I think one of the more common land mammals found with marine fossils is peccary for some reason.  Take a look at a piece of peccary jaw with teeth I found a few years ago at Calvert CLiffs: http://www.ecphora.net/mgs/gallery05.htm  (scroll down about half way).  The posterior molar in that piece of jaw has three roots I believe and kinda resembles your tooth.

Re: Cape fear river

Thanks for the info.  I'm leaning toward the peccary for now.  Will do some more research.

Thanks Brad
