River find from earlier today! Manatee County, Fl
Still quite shaky over finding this huge tooth! Just curious if it's possible to tell if this isn't an upper or lower tooth and would love any advice on preserving it or if that is something I should leave to someone more experienced in preservation. It is very fragile, missing some of the chewing surface and unfortunately a small piece broke off when my shovel hit it. It is roughly 13" long and has 13 plates.
I am afraid to handle it too much so the photos aren't great.
