Owl Like Fossilized Tooth! antique calling card with birds These are mother of pearlI don't know anything about fossilized teeth, but believe this is one, and I thought it was pretty beautiful, and also a nice thing to carry around like a talisman and reminder of the expanse of time of which we are a mere blip. And turned on its side it looks rather like an owl, keeping watch. 2 3 4" t x 1 1 4" x 3 4". Stands on its own with the root of the tooth at base. Satisfyingly smooth surface.
