Found what looks to be a partial jaw with root fragments in Southeast Texas the other day. Looks like it would have had two smaller incisors in front with two much bigger teeth to the sides. Then a smaller peg tooth on each side. Boxes on the green mat are square inches. I've looked through all my books and at some different jaws online, but I can't find anything that seems to match the number of incisors and and size difference. Any ideas would be great.

Their colours are very different, but again, I'm not sure. I think they have been polished al -

There are no teeth or tooth sockets next to the two that are there, and so this makes them look like the two incisors characteristic of rodents and lagomorphs. Interested if anyone can tell me anything else about them. Two photos are through a stereo dissecting microscope at 20X magnification, the other two, though blurry, should give a sense of scale. The entire fossil is about 9 mm tall, with the -
Horse Teeth 'Modern' horse teeth are very hypsodont (high-crowned) to deal with wear caused by eating gritty and/or fibrous foods like grasses. A mature horse may have as many as 44 teeth, which include: 12 incisors (6 upper and 6 lower) Canine teeth are usually absent in female horses but may be present in males. Cheek teeth (4 premolars and 3 molars per side) have very complex enamel patterns. The first premolars (upper and lower) in horses (sometimes called the 'wolf teeth') are vestigial and often absent. Upper cheek teeth (premolars and mol
