My mother is a rock collector and is currently building a fire place with some rocks that shes collected over the last few years. A few months ago she was cleaning this one off and we thought little of it and just made a joke that this was her Neanderthal rock.
so I am curious as how to tell if human teeth can be fossilized? It follows a good jaw outline and has 10-11 what may be teeth?

It could be tested easily enough. I think the anthropology department at any local university,would be more than happy to give you an age. If it's fairly new I'm sure the local authorities might also be interested..cold case fields and all that.
Be advised. If it was a politicians teeth the artifact could easily be misidentified as the jawbone of an ass.

Just unsure if its teeth or not. They want to do some kind of ex ray on it but they won't have access to the proper equipment until school started. Apparently there still on winter break.

Awesome, Gunny! What a neat thing to experience, to touch something that is quantifiably hundreds of thousands of years old, or older. I'm jealous, but enjoying it vicariously!
