3 5/8" Subauriculatus (aka chubutensis) in Pungo contact layer
|
 |
|
Here is the tooth when found. It was in a block of Pungo contact layer, part limestone, part sandy conglomerate.
Only a corner piece of the tooth was sticking out. |
 |
|
After some chisseling, the limestone block split, revealing most of the tooth on one side. |
 |
|
I decided to leave the tooth in the matrix as a display piece. Here is the finished product. |

This is another view. |
