Hi Rod

Yes, I'd say there's every chance of that.

I give up. This is Australia. Just about everything here has sharp, nasty teeth.

Dingo is a very real possibility, I must concede.

This requires further research. Otherwise my guess is as good as yours.

The reference books certainly note that all sorts of teeth were used for tools and weapons.

I have to say, I viewed a shark tooth weapon from micronesia the other day, paying attention to the teeth, and they didn't have the characteristics of these particular teeth. They didn't have those little lateral lines I mentioned earlier.

Regards
Ron
