  1. Found on a rive gravel bar in southern Minnesota. Sediments in the area include glacial till deposits over cretaceous sea mudstone and sandstones. I know its the third molar but the small size caught my attention. Could it be from an ancient/paleo horse?

    Hunting Bone Valley

    I am looking for opportunities (combo of weather and water depth) to go hunting. Yesterday was one of those days with afternoon Thunderstorms. Got out about an hour early, trying to catch morning sunshine. Having been to this location before, I am expecting mostly marine shark teeth (Megs, Hemis, Dusky/Bull, Sand Tigers), Stingray fossils, Puffer-fish mouth plates and fewer mammal fossils. Expectations were met. Here is what I found... couple of hundred small shark teeth Plus.. usually it is the plus that interests me most... It took a while but I sorted down to this....the stuff I would keep for a while.. A photo of what should be an Alligator tooth: Sharing because of details on internal "rings" and unusual wear pattern.. A nice Ray barb find (for me) ... usually do not find the tips this long. Is this identifiable to species of Ray ? Then a pleasant surprise. I do not find many Bison teeth.... Then a relatively small lower tooth of a Tridactyl horse... At 40 mm, the longest Crown Height I have found in any of the smaller horses. An extra photo for those trying to ID to species and tooth position... Finally, An Equus tooth... This is an odd tooth, Long and THIN... 10.8 mm at its widest point, not much wider than my Nannippus tooth (8.1 mm) above.. Note the Transverse Hunter_Schreger Bands on the root end of this photo below Finally , it seems that the top edge of the chewing surface was "agatized/silicified" but that is now deteriorating....A very interesting tooth.. Mostly the shark and ray fossils came early and the mammal teeth later. The Thunderstorms held off until 1:15 pm, as I was finding the mammal teeth and because of that, had delayed my departure.. 30 minutes of Thunderstorms, heavy rain and flashes of Lightning drove me to cover and away from my shovel... I left after just one more sieve.... All in all, a glorious day with interesting finds...
  3. Found on the Kansas River. Here is what sure looks like a small horse lower leg bone and hoof. It has turned to mostly fossilized rock. I could be dreaming and it just be a plant fossil of some sort but it is hollow and the bottom of the "hoof" is indented just like a hoof pad area. All thought are welcome!

    Merychippus goorisi, Fleming Formation

    From the album: Miocene

    Merychippus goorisi, Austin Co. Barstovian, Miocene Mar, 2022 It seems more recent studies have determined Cormohipparion goorisi to actually be of the genus Merychippus, a variety of three-toed horses well known from the American Miocene. At least in 1981, this species was the oldest known hipparion in Holarctica (Northern Afro Eurasia and North America). Merychippus had longer muzzles, deeper jaws, wider set eyes, and relatively larger brains. It seems the type locality was flooded in the creation of Lake Livingston. The Miocene of Texas is overlooked. In the future, I hope to dig a bit deeper into hunting the time period.
  5. Hello everyone this is my first post on the fossil forum.I’m 16 year old girl with autisum that loves fossils and I need help Identifying a fossil I got at a fossil/gemstone shop in South Dakota.I think it may be the rhino species Hyracodon.I also have a another fossil I got from the same place and I think it may be fossil horse or oredont tooth.So I would really appreciate it if someone can help me identify these.please and thank you.

    Tridactyl Horse

    A couple of beat up teeth. Just seeing if there is anything identifiable. @fossillarry @Meganeura Both cannot be lower right, the one below should be IDed as lower left.
  7. EroHed

    What type of tooth is this?

    Is this a Cows Tooth? If so, what part, and is it old or modern.

    Tooth Split Repair

    I've got a small horse tooth from the Peace River near Wachula. It's got a big split down the middle and seems to be only getting worse. I submerged it in an unknown higher concentrate of paraloid-b72. Do you guys reckon that will be enough to halt the split? It was a deep split nearly separating it in half. I submerged the tooth for a few minutes in solution to completely saturate the tooth.

    Vinice Florida 3/16/23

    Last Thursday I went on a dive in Vinice, it's taken me this long to post because I've been cleaning up the teeth I found for the last week. All in all I got 16 megs, 6 complete (I gave one to a friend who's house I was staying at, so I don't have a picture of that one) two complete horse teeth, a 50 cal bullet shell I believe, and a few smaller teeth that I don't have any pictures of. Over all it was a great trip, probably my best dive so far, anyways, thanks for reading!

    Creek trip 3/19/23

    I had a short trip down to a nearby creek yesterday, and though I was only there for about an hour and a half, it had to be one of my best (creek) trips this year! We retrieved our first complete meg from this creek along with two beautiful great whites.We got some very nice sand tiger teeth. We got a nice little horse tooth. And what gets me most excited is my first piece of ivory.Heres all of the days finds.
  11. Hi - I found these today after a big storm very close to where I found some prehistoric horse teeth (or so I'm told) a few months ago. Oddly I found them in two different but close locations - same as the teeth. Anyone know what they are? Thanks!!!

    Small finds to ID

    Finding my favorites, Gomph, a Meg, Tridactyl horse, and a Periotic.. A enjoyable day in the sunshine with friends... The Meg came early but also found some nice Lemons, Tigers, and Sand Tigers. For identification, a couple of small Horse teeth... 1st has been slightly broken, but likely very identifiable. When we talk about the smallest of Florida Horse teeth, this lower must be a candidate. As we were picking thru the final sieves, this Cetacean periotic added excitement. It is the smallest one I have seen.. @Boesse Apologize for the brevity... Wanted to add this thread before cleanup and sleep... Jack

    St Mary’s river small horse tooth

    Picked up this small horse tooth on the bank of the St Mary’s River today and am having a tough time deciding on who the previous owner was - horse tooth enthusiasists what are your thoughts - the crown measurements are 15mm x 7mm
  14. Okay so @fossillarry you’re either going to love me or hate me after this, so I apologize in advance - a friend of mine gave me a bunch of 3-toed horse teeth he’s found hunting in the Gainesville area. 13 of em, in fact. I got measurements and the best pics I can of the chewing surfaces, let me know if I need more pics. Measurements are Width of chewing surface x Height of chewing surface. All in mm. 1) 23.5x17.8 2) 17x16.8 3) 15.7x12.8 4) 13.1x11.3 5) 25.3x19.1 6) 25x16 7) 18.7x14.1 8) 16.2x9.6 9) 19.8x10.1 10) 21.6x13.1 11) 16.8x7.2 12) 14.5x9.2 13) 14x6.4 @fossillarry Thank you so much in advance! @Shellseeker a few of these might be recognizable to you, hopefully?
  15. Found a 3-toed horse tooth yesterday that I wanted to get ID’d! It has an APL of 16.2mm, a TRW of 15.2mm, and a height of 26.3mm. @fossillarry @Shellseeker

    2 Florida 3-toed horse teeth

    So was digging through my box of horse teeth frags, and came across these 2 teeth that are quite worn/damaged but still complete enough to (possibly) see the pattern on. So @fossillarry when you get the chance… First one - apl is 16mm, top to bottom of chewing surface is 17.3mm. Second one - apl of 14mm, atw of 8.7mm. First I can’t remember where I found it… probably the peace. Second was found in the spoils pile in front of the Mulberry Phosphate Museum. thanks in advance!

    Miocene Horse lower tooth

    Went hunting Thursday. Found a couple of Megs, some small horse teeth, dermal denticles, barracuda teeth, and a bunch of small shark teeth *(Sand Tigers, Bull.Dusky, Hemis, Lemons). The only Horse tooth in decent shape is a lower right cheek tooth. Mostly, I find Nannippus, either aztecus or less frequently westoni. Here is a recent aztecus for comparison to this new find. The new tooth: @fossillarry

    Equid Nannippus tooth?

    Another equid tooth to confirm ID. This one could be Nannippus peninsulatus but I saw some similarity with Protohippus due to the connected protocone. It was found in Polk County, FL and measures 14 x 15 x 34mm. Thanks for looking! @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker
  19. andy_mnemonic

    Archaeohippus tooth?

    I've had this tooth for a little while and would like to confirm with the resident horse experts @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker if it is an Archaeohippus tooth. It is from Dixie County, FL and measures 9.5 x 12.3 x 14.3mm. Thanks!
  20. These are all out of the same estate auction as my earlier posts. One of the members, found that much of the collection was posted on this site by the former owner but these weren’t. I sent him a message but doubt I will hear back given the nature of estate auctions. Any help identifying these is as always greatly appreciated.
  21. I found this horse molar (right tooth in the photo). It seems to have an isolated protocone as 3 toed horses do, but it is large (31mm left to right) and looks almost the same as most equuid teeth I have found. It is about 95 mm long- and does have a curve which you don't see in the photo. Large 3 toed horse or is it pathologic? @Shellseeker
  22. I was told the rib could belong to some Pleistocene horse or a young mammoth. There were also proposals that the vertebra belonged to the steppe bison or the woolly rhinoceros. They both were found in Eastern Lesser Poland. What do you think? Thanks in advance!
  23. Not sure if the identification section is the right place to post this because I know it is a Pleistocene Horse tooth from the Brazos river in southeast Texas. However I’m wondering if this is a pathological tooth or a cavity. I’ve found well over 100 horse teeth and none of them have this feature. I appreciate any insights

    Nice horse tooth

    This may be the best preserved Horse tooth I’ve ever found. It has very little wear and even still has the roots! I’ve looked through all the reference material that I have available and really haven’t found anything close. Even if I don’t get an ID I knew Jack would love to see this one! L=20.5mm W=13mm H=29mm. @Shellseeker
  25. I've been dragging my feet on posting trip reports on two excursions out to a river in SE Texas simply because I hate having to convert image file formats but I've finally bit the bullet and am ready to report! First up is a trip a month ago. The weather has been brutally hot so I have to head to and leave the site earlier than id like but I've recently found a way out to a gravel bar that's actually an island in the river and had pretty good luck on both occasions I've been there hunting. Drought conditions have exposed large areas of the gravel bars and might be the reason why this spot is accessible on foot lately rather than requiring a boat of some description. I should mention that I've still got a lot of learning to do so I'll admit all my ID's are tentative and would welcome any corrections or assistance. Also if anyone wants individual shots of different angles of any of this material with scale or measurements I'd be happy to do so. One last thing worth mentioning is my collection bias, I tend to leave behind any invertebrate material (mostly Cretaceous Texigryphaea) and an absolute ton of petrified wood. First is a shot of the gravel bar from the bank. Second photo is highly fragmented turtle/tortoise shell in situ that I took so I could vinac the pieces back together once I got home. Third shot is the sum total of the fossils recovered once they'd been cleaned and reassembled in the case of that turtle/tortoise shell. Fourth shot is a close up of the two proximal horse phalanx and three horse teeth. Fifth photo is all turtle/tortoise shell including the reassembled fragment. Sixth is a bunch of unidentified tooth enamel, a couple possible tusk fragments up top, and mastodon and mammoth enamel on the right hand side. Seventh is a group shot of the unidentifiable material. Eighth and final photo is of three pieces from the unidentifiable group that I can at least hazard a guess as to which element/family they might have come from-specifically part of a phalanx I believe, a large rib fragment and a small hollow long bone I assume is from a bird but one epiphysis is totally gone and the other is so damaged I doubt its possible to say any more about. All in all I'd call it a pretty successful outing! (for some reason the order I uploaded the photo's isn't the order they posted in so the 4th photo was moved up to the first position, whoops!)
