And if it’s a bison tooth, is it possible to estimate the age? I found it on the banks of a small creek in Clarke County.

Hi Susie.  I would suggest that you contact the Iowa Geological Society at the University of Iowa.  They have a form on the link below that you can send in the sample to have identified.  There is also a phone number that you can call to ask questions about the fossil identification and an email where you can send your picture and questions.  I hope this helps!
