Nebraska Oligocene Jaw Fragments - ID Help

Recommended Posts

Trying to confirm id of two jaw fragments.

  • From an old family collection.
  • Label: Oligocene - White River, Nebraska, Sioux County, USA
  • Both noted as Poebrotherium (tiny extinct camel)

 

First three photos are the first fragment.  Based on the large canine tooth and size of the other teeth, I'm thinking it might actually be an oreodont?

Last four are the second fragment.  Smaller teeth and wider jaw.  Maybe labeled correctly as poebrotherium?

Not a whole lot left of the teeth on that first one. I digress to others for ID on that one.

2nd item definately looks like Oreodont.
