2 7/8" Angustidens Tooth

This tooth has actually been in my collection the longest. It has a dull grey color - not too fantastic in that respect, but it does have two other, more interesting qualities. First, it is a lower tooth - you can tell because of the shape. Second, it is mildly pathologic. That curvature near the tip is not a regular feature (called a hook). Not to mention it is 2 7/8" long. And it did not come from the creek! Instead, it came from a large drainage ditch that feeds into the Ashley river.
