I found 2 of these mammoth molars attatched to the jaw bone off Venice FL, but as i was digging them out they broke...does anyone know a good way to reattatch them? glue? metal pipes?

Sorry no help on the gluing, I just had to say that those are awesome! Good find!
 
Hope you marked that spot !!...Finding molars is not that uncommon, but finding them w/the jaw bones is !!!....Bet if you go back to that spot and do some digging you'll find more bones, molars etc......A skull would be a great find !!!!....Nice pics, thank you.......
 
I wish I did cause I bet the mammoth is down there....I was digging in solid mud
 
If it were mine, I would use a glue that could be removed. I personally like everything in my display un-repaired. Look for something water soluble. This is just my opinion, but I would go back and see what you left behind before trying to do any repairs. Very awesome find! Just my two cents since you haven't had a lot of replies. Good luck!
