mammal canines identification


Kiros

Recommended Posts

hello everyone,

recently I found this lot of canines for sale. the owner knows nothing about them.

Now I know that it's really difficult to identify a genus from a canine tooth, but maybe there is someone with more experience than me about florida pleistocene fossils that can help me.

 

thank you for anyone one who can help me.

That would be wonderful but they seems too small to be wolf canines but maybe it was a juvenile specimen. An other big problem in identifying canines is that upper and lowers have different curvatures

They could also possibly be odontocete teeth.

I think both of these look like procyon.. All 6 teeth seem familiar to a person who hunts fossils in rivers and creeks of the US South East coast
