Found this little artiodactyl tooth on one of my trips to the Colorado River near Wharton, Texas about a month ago and have had some trouble getting a concrete ID. Any teeth other than bison or horse are basically impossible to find in the Brazos and so I'm way out of my depth with this one. I'm assuming it's too small to be camelid and the pictures I've seen that most closely resemble it are of antilocaprid teeth. This one must be an m3, the third lobe is just broken off (which you can see pretty clearly in the third and the fifth pictures). The occlusal surface is 1.5 cm across but obviously

Just found this in the same spot as a bison tooth in an antelope tooth fossilized

The wife and I finally got to explore a hill that I had been looking at for years. This was in early September of 2016. The back roads of Northern Colorado enjoy the scenery. Didn't take very long to start finding things. All I had with me was a water bottle for size. The ridge we were standing on.

On a recent safari through northern Kenya my son picked up a fossil while we were in Sibiloi National Park, Turkana Kenya. After a closer examination I could see that it was the top of an ungulates skull. Here are some images of the skull. I took some basic measurements and we returned the skull to where we found it. Rufous and I would very much like to know what species of antelope this might be. Many of the other fossils in the area appear to be shells, fish verterbra, and crocodian and turtle discoveries have been made close by. Many Thanks for your ideas.

Antelope metapodial and calcaneum from Late Pleistocene
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear Guys, I have two possible bones of antelopes, they are very small to ungulates. I found these two bones in the Late Pleistocene sand layers of Varena town, South Lithuania. The calcaneum is only 4 cm length, metapodial- 10,5 cm length. The confirmation of these fossils would be very helpful to my further articles. Any idea what is this? Best Regards Domas -
September 6, 2009 It happens in all areas of life. Yet, sometimes the unexpected is manifested in remarkable circumstances. Last January, Dan and I were scrambling across a rocky bar in a Texas stream. To help keep our focus during a cold downpour and intermittent showers, we joked with various sandstone "fossils" we picked up. The erosive nature of water and gravel creates thousands of pseudofossils, and we were finding them with frequency. "Hey Dan, here's your mammoth tooth! Catch!" (Please do not try this at home.) "Yeah, yeah, and this must be your sabre-tooth fang!" So it went

Well, it's been a very long time since I've shown you guys some fossils, so I just went out and took some photos of some stuff from my last couple dives. Here's two Florida auriculatus teeth...pretty uncommon out of any river other than the Suwannee, but I have a small site that seems to occasionally produce them. The bite damage on the lighter colored one really makes it a real heart breaker...very rarely do you get those colors from any Eocene teeth here unless you find a mine...and of course, only the tip was buried when I first saw it, so I just knew it was going to be flawless.
