PODIGGER Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Back on the Peace River yesterday where there was no other human being in sight. Found a number of the usual shark teeth, couple of horse teeth, partial deer antler, deer astragulus, mammoth and mastodon frags, turtle scutes, along with two tiny teeth that I have yet to identify. Searched on the forum and on line for anything similar but had no luck. Hopefully, someone will recognize these. First up is what appears to be the crown of a tooth a little less than 1/2" square. The bite surface is made up of several "bumps" and the underside of the crown looks to me like it is a button with four holes. Next up is a thin tooth that looks like it is ,issuing one of two roots. Did the best I could with the photos. Hope they are sufficient. Thanks for any comments/input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The first tooth reminds me of Mylohyas fossilis, a peccary. The second tooth looks like a p4 from a domestic pig. 7 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PODIGGER Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Thank you Harry! I had looked at Pecarry for the first but failed to find any good images. Yours leave no question in my mind. The pig looks like a great match too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
