The photograph in the Ragtag Daily Prompt guess yesterday is of a beach object. I was sure that it was a fossil, but a fossil WHAT? I picked it up about a year ago.
Last week a friend comes by and says, “Oh, I know. It’s a mammoth tooth.”
REALLY?! I am thrilled. And go search the internet.

Mammoths turn out to be Washington State’s state fossil. Mammoths are also the state fossil of a bunch of other states. Texas doesn’t have a state fossil, it has a state dinosaur.

Other people have found mammoth fossils on the beaches here.
And they have found mammoth remains, including teeth. Mine is just part of a tooth. The chewing edge is shown in today’s photograph.
Did you guess?
