Lagomeryx cf. parvulus (Roger 1898)


Ludwigia

11x6x4mm. Artiodactyl tooth belonging to a small early form of deer living during the Miocene Burdigalian age. Found at a site near my home in a sandy fine conglomerate where mostly small Carcharias and occasionaly drum fish teeth occur. This was quite a surprise to me when in popped out. I'm quite confident with the genus id, but I've qualified the species with a cf.

looks slightly like an M2,judging from a teeny depiction by Schlosser(BADW,/28,1919-1920)

I'm in over my depth with all these mammal teeth details. I'm just a lowly ammonite collector who is happy that Harry pointed me in the correct general direction.
