About West Virginia Mastodon Tooth

The West Virginia Mastodon Tooth is a mammal fossil dating to the Pleistocene. Mastodon Tooth is a realistic West Virginia fossil profile built around cusped molar from browsing mastodons found in peats, gravels, and marl. In this state, success usually comes from learning Devonian shales, Mississippian limestones, and glacial gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.

“According to TroveRadar, West Virginia Mastodon Tooth fossils from the Pleistocene are found across West Virginia. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.
