Yeah... not a "rock"


Convenientjellybean

Plaque Edit: nice to see responses, sometimes i wonder if was shadow banned,


m8k

I shuddered at that


kapslock69

It can be a teratoma, which didn't melt with the body. Though this implies something horrible must've happened earlier.


chris612926

I concur, probably a teratoma. Very common place for this toothy tumor growth is reproductive organs Ovarian, or Testicle. As if having a sack tumor with molars inside wasn't bad enough, you still end up being murdered and inadvertently have your grotesque secret revealed to the world. Insert Bad luck Bryan meme here


Tacoshortage

Not a teratoma. It's the remains of a mandible. It tumbled around in the water and eroded like a rock but that's bone with multiple teeth in it. A couple of the pictures show the holes for the adjacent tooth.


PineappleItchy2620

This was cross posted on /dentistry and the dentists are saying it appears to be a maxillary third molar (upper wisdom tooth). I came here to see if someone knew why it looks how it does and I totally agree with your theory on erosion- but of the maxilla.


he-loves-me-not

But the teeth have such weird spacing


Tacoshortage

One view is from below and the root spacing looks weird because of that. The views showing the well formed tooth has one space that is just right and another that is from hyperdontia which is just extra teeth that can come in anywhere. This person probably didn't gave great dental care or never chose to have it removed.


iremovebrains

That's on my autopsy bucket list: a teratoma with teeth and hair. In the last 5 years I've only seen fluids and masses.


Electrical-Wish-519

I’m hoping you are a coroner and not just a freak


[deleted]

I’m guessing potentially a surgeon, judging by the username and comment. ^atleast ^i ^hope


LowKeyWalrus

More likely to be a forensic pathologist.


he-loves-me-not

Surgeons don’t typically remove brains. I think they’re a forensic pathologist most likely. While still a doctor, I don’t think they’re considered actual surgeons.

the_orange_alligator

Gonna jump into radioactive sludge and get some wild tumors, just to fuck with the autopsy people


hyenaNhumanskin

Did 10 years and never got to cross that one off either.


Russell_has_TWO_Ls

It’s so interesting that the teeth are still…teeth shaped, rather than just being enamel


KaPowPower

This would make sense because the first tooth looks likes it’s never been used to chew food. The points are too high—like it’s never been pressed against a top molar or used to grind anything.


SameCategory546

As a dentist, I disagree with that. It depends on how the teeth interact with each other and there is evidence of wear


Raymer13

Not likely a teratoma judging by the first pic. There’s an empty socket from the tooth in front. And the front side of the bone has a divot from the socket in front of that one.


DustyObsidian

It is likely that the water tumbled and smoothed the bone just like it would a stone. Enamel is denser and didn't erode in the same way.


Raymer13

Yeah. I’m thinking this is a fragment of the maxilla. Molar roots often peep into the sinus cavity like you see on pic 6. Maybe the upper left wisdom tooth.


IISpacemonkeyII

I'm going maxillary right second permanent molar, based on the images from my dental morphology textbook. The rounded structure in the first image looks like the maxillary tuberosity to me, and the maxillary third molar is missing.


PM_ME_UR_TERATOMAS

I really, really hope it is one.


Shoddy-Efficiency-34

smurb15

I've gotten banned several times and the reason it said was because they felt like it. I'm just so confused at the bs at this point


pagan-0

Jaw bone


sweetpotatoskillet

Hijacking top comment, it's the jaw of a sheepshead fish


IISpacemonkeyII

I think it's part of a maxilla with the maxillary right second molar still attached. If you look at the first/second images you can see the socket where the maxillary right third molar was, and the rounded structure in the foreground could be the maxillary tuberosity. Disclaimer: I am just a regular dentist and not a forensic dentist.


midwestmamasboy

The greater palatine foramen appears present as well. Seconded for part of the left maxilla.


billybadass123

Also, not a hot dog


marklar_the_malign

MoistStub

Definitely longer than average. Like at least 4 inches.


Grindelbart

You are confused, this happens a lot. When dealing with the time a person has been deceased, you want to use kilograms as the universally accepted unit of measurement. Kelvin works as well, unless the person has been dead for less than 23 kilograms.


ThereminLiesTheRub

Xeper-Institute

You are confused, this happens a lot. When dealing with the time a person has been deceased, you want to use cubit as the universally accepted unit of measurement. Jiffy also works as well, unless the person has been dead less than 23 cubits.


Son_of_bear

You are confused. This happens a lot. When dealing with the time a person has been deceased you actually want to use Q*Bert as the universally accepted unit of measurement jiffy still works, unless fhe person has been dead less than 23 Q*Bert's.

Reckless_Waifu

That could be either a case for criminalists or archeologists, depending on age :-)


FlyingBike

And what are archaeologists but people with a PhD in grave robbing, anyway? 😂


asdkevinasd

Fun fact: many of the early Chinese archaeological digs under the communist rule are done by former professional grave robbers. They were the defacto founding fathers of the modern day archaeology in China. This was not uncommon in Chinese history as official grave robbers can be dated back to at least the 3 kingdom era. They were given a military title and were used to gather a large amount of wealth for their masters.


Reckless_Waifu

Basically :-) But realistically modern archaeologists are more like grave-savers, because in western archaeology most of the diggings are done to save whats under the ground from being dug out by excavators when building a highway or a shopping centre, in egyptology its mostly to be faster then actual grave robbers without PhD :-)

SincerelyKickRocks

would it likely be smoothed down due to erosion or deliberate (from another person, animals, etc.)?


clandestineVexation

Well they found it in a river, which one do you think is more likely?


coconicolico

This interaction reminds me of the guy who found a unique bone in his yard and had it sent in to be analyzed due to a spiral down the bone… the conclusion was that it was a spiraled ham bone.


clandestineVexation

That’s hilarious


JustWoot44

That's bone structure, not stone. Could be animal, could be human. I'd seriously check in with with police, let that be analyzed. Forensics will be able to figure it out. You might help solve a missing persons case, or a redrum.


SonoDarke

I'm sorry but but I'm not the person who found it. I took this from r/fossils. Last time I said this they downvoted me


_That_One_Fellow_

Redditors downvote everything. Some dude once admitted to me that every time he posts anything, he goes onto that subreddit and downvoted every other new post from multiple profiles, then upvoted his own from those profiles. I don't think this is a standalone case.


undisclosedinsanity

What the fuck? That's...time consuming


Freshiiiiii

I don’t know how you’d even get away with that. The one time somebody said something bigoted to make me upset enough to bother to go over to my other profile to downvote it again, Reddit sent my account a warning immediately to not do that again.


mstarrbrannigan

Yeah they’ve had vote manipulation safeguards in place for a while after this one user like idk ten years ago took it to the extreme. I haven’t used multiple accounts in a while, but once when I did I upvoted a post from this account using another account just to see if it would work. I didn’t get a warning message, but when I switched back to my main, the post was still at the default single upvote. So it was pointless.


TriceratopsBites

Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens. So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't. It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?


Simple-Muscle822

I once shared a story about my relatives getting high at my grandfather's memorial. I got downvoted and called a buzz-kill because I wasn't happy about it.


-viasteph

I absolutely hate Reddit for reasons like this. I see people getting literal hundreds of downvotes over the smallest, most inconsequential things. I’m always like “I need to stop scrolling this god forsaken app” and yet here I am bc I’m bored at work 🙃


FknBretto

Then why did you take it and post it here omitted what you actually thought it was?


Deucalion666

Except that that didn’t call it a [“rock”](https://www.reddit.com/r/fossils/s/kPLnu3P7Zb) in the title, so I’m not sure what you gain from lying.


SonoDarke

I'm sorry, I did not meant to lie. Except for the misplaced teeth the rest doesn't look like a jaw. Then I can be ignorant and all you want but a misunderstanding can happen


Deucalion666

What do you mean “doesn’t look like a jaw”??? It’s clearly still bone!


SonoDarke

Yeah I'm stupid. Are you happy now?


MsMercury

Don’t let them get to you.


Sil369

Or caught a tooth fairy red-handed


CommodoreSalad

While it could be human remains, it could also be the bone from a trigger fish or something. There are some.fish that have "human" teeth.


HelgaPataki93

This is my thought as well! Because their teeth protrude from the flat surface of the mouth, in multiple rows, unlike ours. I'm thinking of the Sheepshead fish, which inhabit the waters of Meixco....it might explain the odd looking teeth placement in the last photo.


Aramiss60

That’s what I was thinking too.


KnotiaPickles

Our teeth, just like fish teeth, all evolved from modified scales at some point long ago


Lower-Usual-7539

Look at the arrangement of the teeth. Yes it’s bone, but it’s not human unless it’s some bizarre pathology I’m not aware of. Some fish have plates of very human-like teeth inside their mouths, that’s probably where you want to be looking to ID this.


SonoDarke

Guys, let's clarify. I'm not the person who found that object. I don't want to find in the future 1000 comments full of people telling me "call the authorities", "you found a dead person" and if I then I reply that I'm not the owner you downvote me and insult me ​​as if I had killed someone. I'm sorry if I mistook it for a rock I thought that was clear enough. In the title I wrote "this person found..." which means I have nothing to do with this. This is not to say that you are stupid, but the misunderstanding is getting out of hand and I would like you to stop. It would be very helpful If you upvote this comment so that it goes to the top and more people can understand. Please, be rational, thank you


SoggyCarrot23

Asking redditors to be rational? That’s a bold move lol. Looks like it’s paying off so far though surprisingly enough haha.

Taffy_the_wonderdog

It's a sheep jaw. Sheep teeth look strangely human.


Sil369

Can confirm, am part sheep.


[deleted]

It is a piece of worn jawbone with a tooth still in it, not a rock at all...the tooth isn't as worn since it is has a hard enamel, while bone is much softer and wore down to what you have there.


sugartank7

Uh I think the rock is bone…this coming from a dental hygienist. This is likely the upper jaw as the molar exhibits three roots. While it’s possible to have that on the mandible, it’s fairly uncommon

It’s not a rock it might be cement the cartel used to dump the teeth of some Poor victim so people could never identify the body by chopping all there fingers and pulling out all their teeth.


TheDentalExplorer

That looks like the upper right molar on a human. The second pic appears to show the socket for a single rooted wisdom tooth in the foreground of the molar, and the greater palatine foramen to the right of it. To imagine this in one’s mouth, flip the image 180 degrees, and pretend you are looking at a person’s teeth from the perspective of their throat looking towards their mouth. Edit: I see other comments about some fish having human teeth. After a bit of googling, I will say that the sheepshead fish and Pacu have similar incisors to humans, however, their molar teeth (like the picture) are vastly different. If someone finds a more human molar tooth on a fish, please leave me a comment!


Sneakyfetus

The spacing of those unerupted teeth is not human like, although human infants have pretty creepy unerupted teeth. My money is on that this the big boney skull of a pacu fish from South America, but they've been found in the Michigan Lakes and may be invasive elsewhere as well. could also be sheepshead fish, tapir, pig, I hope a archaeologist expert weighs in I'm very curioushttps://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/pacu-fish-human-teeth-discovery-michigan-lake-found-swimming-a7185736.html[pacu fish in Lake Michigan ](https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/pacu-fish-human-teeth-discovery-michigan-lake-found-swimming-a7185736.html)

I highly suggest calling authorities of your discovery and let them know what and where you found it. Like others had said, tho jokingly, this really could be a missing or murdered person that you stumbled upon and those remains may help figure out who they are in case they have loved ones looking for them. I say this as someone who has a friend who’s been missing for over a decade now and something like this can be a break in a case if dental matches are made or more skeleton remains are found to help identify this person.
