I was answering questions on Horse tooth identification in the Netherlands, and thought of something that I really did not know. I learned the conventional wisdom. Horses started in South America, migrated across a land bridge to North America, and eventually crossed the land bridge near what is today the Bering Strait, into the rest of the world. Horses went extinct in the Americas. In the 1500s, Spaniards reintroduced horses into the Americas. So, How far back in the fossil record do Horses go outside of the Americas? I have no idea, beyond thinking we had Equus in Florida 100000 years ago.

For those who are not versed in Calcaneum, this thread may help. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/107376-mammal-calcaneum/ It was a great day in Florida.. I was out fossil hunting, and this bone dropped in my sieve. The site I was hunting tends toward Middle Miocene, about 90% marine. It is rare to find Pleistocene material, but there is always a mixture possibility. Let's figure this one out together. Look at the fossil below, size is 3.6 x 1.6 inches (91.4 x 40.6 mm), look at the thread above. Tell me what you think.

I was out hunting today with @minnbuckeye. He is visiting from Minnesota. It was warm, the sun was shining, we laughed a lot and found some really outstanding fossils... Here is Mike trying to turn a rock into a Meg. Neither of us found a meg on this day. GREAT SMILE. Last time I met with Mike was March 9th , 2018 , I found this.... I am beginning to think Mike is my good luck charm.. Many of you know that Pliocene horses are very high on my priority list. A couple of my finds from today.. Thanks , Mike

Everyone said NSR was dry and picked over but I hiked 9 hrs and found some cool stuff. My favorites are the Protostega costal bone with partial rib head preserved, the mosasaur bone with bite mark and the artifacts. I walked in tracks all day but the river is too large for someone to get everything and people miss quite a bit.

Well, this is modern, I don’t even have to do a burn test. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I was hoping someone could help with an ID. I came across it when I was out on a hike through Little Death Hollow in southern Utah awhile back. I don’t have any other photos of it, which will probably make the ID more difficult. I’m thinking cow humerus, or maybe horse. Thoughts?

I found this land mammal tooth at Flag ponds on Calvert cliffs. It got me really excited when I found a mammal tooth, But I have no idea what it is. I was thinking Camel or horse because that is what it resembles. If anyone can help me get a positive ID on this that would be great!

All found on the beach in Jacksonville Beach FL like twenty years ago. Area known to produce Pleistocene mammals. 1. Thinking sloth phalanx. Note proximal epiphysis is missing/unfused. If it is sloth, does anyone known what kind? Is it medial? 2. Guess is bison first lower premolar 3. Equus sesamoids? Any help is appreciated.

This tooth for sale caught my eye and was hoping someone could help ID it. It was purportedly found in Miocene deposits of Arizona and I _think_ it's a late wear stage cheek tooth of Pliohippus sp. I do not have measurements at this time. Thanks for the help!
