austinswamp Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Good evening, I was hoping to get an ID on this tooth I found in a karst region of Travis county, Texas. The tooth was found about 10 feet below surface (Jollyville formation) . About three miles away is a famous cave known as Fyllan cave, which has produced a diverse fauna that includes, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and mammals from the mid Pleistocene. Thanks!
