Giant beaver upper incisor chunk? Peace River Florida ID help, please and thanks!
Amarykah posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hey everyone! I found an exciting array of unusual things in the river today. At first I thought I had a baby sloth tooth, but after some research I believe it’s a giant beaver incisor! @Meganeura you posted something that HAS to be the same as what I found. But can anyone explain why mine has a hole down the center? The shape looks like a sloth tooth to me but the enamel says it’s not sloth, right? Looking for ID confirmation as well as explanation for this hole thank you! …And disregard the sand and dirt still in my nails haha it was a fun day! (Let me know if measurements or better/more pics are needed)

I recently purchased a pack of gravel from Florida filled with Miocene and Pleistocene fossils. Among the fossils was a giant beaver molar. I rinsed it off with water, left it to dry and came back to find that has started to peel. Has this happened to anyone before? How would you recommend consolidating the tooth so that it stops peeling? I have tried to use Butvar before but I have never seemed to get the right ratio to protect the fossil while avoiding the shine. Would you recommend dunking the entire tooth in the solution or to apply some using a dropper or paint brush? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am new to this great forum, and am seeking advice on 2 beaver (?) teeth I have found during my trips to Ramanessin over the past year. From the size of the larger tooth, it appears to be from a giant beaver- is this an example of Castoroides ohioensis from the Pleistocene epoch? Is it possible to tell if the smaller tooth is modern (based on size), or potentially from the Pleistocene (perhaps a juvenile)? Regardless, these teeth are so cool! Thank you for your help!

Found this on a gravel bar in north west Missouri a week ago . Figured it was from a beaver but hadn't did a size comparison till today . Seems a bit big for run of the mil beaver these days .
