Weather was cold and windy yesterday, but sunny and calmer down in southeast Texas. Sandy gravel matrix. I always hate to get my hopes up too early in the game, but I think I may have found my first 3 toed horse tooth. I looked at Hulbert's Fossil Vertebrates of Florida book. Photograph D on pg. 292 is a right m1 or m2 from nannippus aztecus. It appears pretty similar, but I'm not sure about size. Nannippus Aztecus would have been in Texas from late Miocene to Pliocene, so region would fit. And I think @garyc has found a nannippus on the Brazos before in this general region. My husband and I weren't able to take very good pictures of measurements of the occlusal surface without sacrificing accuracy. Gave up on trying to photograph it with the ruler and got better results. MSCH, from root to parastyle: 36mm APL, length of crown enamel: 18 mm TRW, width of crown from mesostyle to posterior protocone: 16mm. @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis @garyc
