@fossillarry, sorry to do this to you, again. Picked up a bunch of 3-toed teeth for cheap today from the Tampa Bay Fossil fest, and most need an ID. #7 and #10 are from Polk County phosphate mines, and #8 is from Bone Valley (Courtesy of @Family Fun who gave it to me). #11 is from the Peace. The rest I’ve got no clue on. @Shellseeker I know you like 3-toed teeth - I think you’ll enjoy seeing #10. All measurements are in mm, and are width by height of the occlusal surface: 1) 14x12 - C. ingenuum? 2) 15x13 3) 21.5x20.5 4) 16.2x14.2 5) 18x14.5 6) 18x16.4 7) 14x12.4 8) 17.3x16 - N. Aztecus? 9) 18.5x10 - N. Aztecus? 10) 17.4mm long. This was labelled N. minor - which I believe was renamed to N. morgani 11) 26.3mm long. Because of 10, and recently finding out that Equus canines are much bigger than I thought - I wanted to revisit this as a 3-toed canine: Thanks in advance!

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!

I was rummaging again in my storage building, pulling out fossils that I couldn't identify (or didn't appreciate) over the years. One of the teeth I pulled out was a three-toed horse tooth, this exquisite Nannippus tooth. This is the tiny hipparion, Nannippus peninsulatus (formerly, N. phlegon) first molar (m1). N. peninsulatus are not common Florida fossils . . . they are Blancan in age (extinct about 2.2 Ma.bp), and Blancan mammal fossils are of limited distribution in Florida. I read that this species is more common in Texas. Anyway, I was so pleased with the tooth, that I photographed it. I will add it to my drawer.
