We found this nice tooth on the Kaw River (Kansas) this past summer. Permian glacial material has been found there. When we found it, we assumed that it was from a camel. I’m not so sure anymore, as it has a stylid, and resembles a white tailed deer tooth we found, only much larger. Any ideas?

Went out Hunting both Wednesday and Thursday. Very unusual, I usually need recuperation time, but it seems the extra exercise helped. So what is happening is that we are starting to Hunt the Peace River again because the water depth has dropped. We are returning to places we have not been in Months to "test" the depth. On Thursday we picked one of those After sorting out small shark teeth , these were my best finds of the day. I especially appreciate the green marble. Usually, I was digging in water just above my waist but lots of deeper holes all around me.. This was limiting how deep I could dig, even when I did find gravel. In my first sieve of the day up popped the premolar in lower right. Because of the size, I immediately thought it was deer. But I am frequently wrong, more so than I would like. It has an APL of 14 mm. and 3 roots.. I looked at deer first. I thought this would be premolar 1. But it was not deer. and that is exciting. I LIKE finding fossils I can not identify initially. After searching TFF and the internet for a while, I came upon one of @Harry Pristis great pictures. It is amazing that such a big animal has such a small tooth. This is a nice find , especially at the size. Next up a small Mako and a Dolphin... A layer of the Dolphin enamel has been stripped from one side. But the rugose nature of the remaining side enamel would seem to confirm Dolphin. I do not have many dolphin teeth like this and I am pleased to get this one. Then a small bone that has some unusual features and I will try to Identify. This is all about 1) I like to identify my finds so that I will recognize them the next time I see one. This bone might be a Calcaneum, but I am unsure. Finally , a large incisor... I was initially thinking Llama, but there are some features that do not quite match, so I went looking at Horse, Bison, Cow... and found little to change my initial opinion... The shape of the tip seems to be Llama ( Hemiauchenia macrocephala) but I have not seem similar curving folds of the lingual edge, and the rest of the incisor seems more similar to Equus than to Llama. but for the moment , I'll stick with Hemiauchenia. These are good finds, I had very successful day. It was nice to be in the Peace River again. It took me a while to prepare this post. Likely will get to describing Wednesday finds tomorrow. All comments welcome and appreciated.

I found this tooth around what I think was one of my first post on the forum (not very long ago). When I found it I had not tried identifying many predator teeth and did not realize how common the shape was and concluded it was dire wolf, but now I believe that this is not true due to size and rarity of these teeth. I believe it is probably something smaller, maybe feline, raccoon, or something of that sort, any help?

Found in the Peace River, the ripples in the enamel along with the width and length are off to me it's too short and wide to be horses from what I've seen.

Out hunting today, overcast 67 degrees. The guys fishing in the Jon boat questioned our intelligence. A premolar was my best find for a little while. Size L 12, W 8, H 17 mm I thought it was deer, but then found a deer premolar for sale and that did not seem exactly the same.

Found this tooth yesterday in the peace river area in Wachula, Fl. Have been trying to find out what it is since. All that I’ve got so far is that it’s a premolar from a carnivore. Would love some help from you all! There are 3 root prongs (hard to tell from the 2 images, I can post more if necessary).

Hey guys, Around 2.5 years ago I found this tooth in the Santa Fe River in Florida, which is Pleistocene. I previously IDed it as a bison premolar (Bison antiquus), but looking back I am now less convinced by that ID. The chewing surface seems off, and seen from the top it seems a little too 'rectangular'. Due to its relatively small size, if it is indeed bison, could it possibly be a juvenile (hence explaining why it looks a bit different from normal bison teeth)? What do you guys think? I can provide more angles if necessary. Thanks in advance, Max
