    Florida Mammal Teeth

    Below are two Pleistocene mammal teeth from "river gravels" in Florida. I have to further information on their age or locality, unfortunately. The left was merely identified as a "mammal tooth", and I strongly suspect it is from Trichechus manatus, but I have very little experience with mammal dentition and as such thought it would be best to check with someone with greater expertise in the field first. The right tooth was identified as a "peccary tooth", but given the fact that a number of tayassuids were present in Pleistocene Florida I wondered if the tooth could be identified to a genus, or better yet a species level. I will now take the liberty of "@ing in" a few people: @Harry Pristis and @Shellseeker Thanks in advance for any proposed ID's Othniel
  2. Here are a few molars that I’m stumped on. They were all found In NE corner of Kansas in some Permian (edit: not Permian) glacial drift material. Molar #1: Going through @Harry Pristis’s album, to me this one resembles Tapir, but I am doubtful Molar #2 I have no ideas on this one, initially guessed peccary but I think that is incorrect Molar #3 This one has some of the root, although some of the top surface has been broken Thank you to everyone in advance! I try to ID our fossils myself, but these I can’t seem to figure these out. Have a great day everyone

  6. I have seen on multiple occasions "peccary" teeth for sale originating from the Miocene of the Gansu Province in China. I have never heard of any fossil representative of Tayassuidae being seen outside of the New World, so what might they be? This is a picture of one such "peccary tooth". I'd put this in fossil ID put I thought it was quite a general question.

    Interesting Mammal Teeth

    Hello everyone, I found some mammal teeth on a recent trip to the Peace River. Help in identifying would be appreciated! Tooth #1 The first tooth I believe could be from a peccary; however, I know that peccary teeth are similar to wild boar teeth. Are there any indicators that would allow me to tell the difference? Tooth #2 I do not know the species this tooth comes from. Any ideas?
  8. Is this a modern pig tooth or a peccary tooth? I found it in Montgomery, Alabama, where Pleistocene fossils have been found.
  9. Hi guys! I think the first three are: Peccary molar Camel pre molar Coyote canine But I'm not super sure and would really appreciate a second opinion. I'm lost on the last two Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated as always! Thanks!
  10. Hi everyone, I'm hoping to be able to find out the identity of this tooth I found in the White River formation last summer. It has an odd triangular cross section and doesn't seem to match anything I've seen so far. I was wondering if it might be from the ancient peccary Perchoerus as I saw some similarities online when I was exploring that option. I would be interested in reading all of your opinions. The tooth is approx. 4 cm in length and 1 cm at its widest point. Photo from the field

    Peccary versus Modern Pig

    I hunt frequently. I find what I believe to be peccary teeth not infrequently. As we know , there is a problem. Modern pigs (domestic, wild, boars) have peccaries as ancestors. Teeth of modern pigs and peccaries are similar. Are the differences significant enough to be able to easily differentiate the two species. I thought they were. I am going to use a couple of @Harry Pristis fantastic photos, which remain the best resource for this discussion. In this photo of domestic pig from Florida, note the circular petal nature of of the chewing surface on each tooth.. Sort of reminds me of Gomphothere teeth. Next ,lets look at Peccary: Mylohyus is a Pleistocene version of the species. Note the straighter lines down the center and less obvious or none existent circular petals. I found this one a couple of years back Pliocene peccary is Platygonus bicalaratus. Peccary teeth look more like Mastodon than Gomphothere. So, why present how I differentiate? One is to ask if others use different techniques, and the other is that I just found a tooth in the Peace River, that I thought was Peccary (Mylohyus) and my hunting companion, who has done this longer than I felt was domestic Pig. I am seeking an identification: The tooth is 15.5 mm in length and 14.5 mm in width. Thanks for the help. @PODIGGER @Plantguy @digit

    Today's fossil finds

    Found a bunch of knowns, and then these 2 that have some question. 1st up is a Peccary or modern pig p4 premolar, very worn. A helper from Harry on Sus Scrofa AND a photo of a Peccary p4 from PrehistoricFlorida . Which is this fossil and how differentiated ? Thanks Here is the 2nd.. Looks like a jaw. Maxilla ? Alveoli? Dolphin ? Is this my imagination? Just a rock?
  13. Since Platygonus Peccary is the topic, a specimen I've wondered about for many years. Found in a cave in Perry County, Missouri 16 January 1977, a specimen I'd ID'ed as Platygonus compressus and it was associated with other Ice Age fossils. However, I have a replica of a 9" Sabertooth canine I helped find in another nearby cave and there are similarities.... Please tell me what you think, Peccary canine or juvenile Sabertooth canine? The hollow portion has some wax inserted for reinforcement. The light blue grid is one inch.

    Mammal teeth GMR

    Hi all! I'm hoping for some insight. I found two mammal teeth at GMR today and I am not 100% sure what they are. I was thinking peccary or deer. Assistance is appreciated.
  16. Hello! I have a coworker that found this tooth in the Kansas City Missouri area creek walking. It is definitely a tooth, and from my limited resources and knowledge it is definitely a deciduous tooth ( no roots) and it looks like a peccary tooth though maybe a bit large for a "baby" tooth, so the thought on deciduous mastodon?. I can get specific measurements, but it is about 2-2 1/4 inches long and about 1 1/2 inches wide. Thoughts appreciated! Bone
