FredFossil Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I had a pretty uneventful - but beautiful - day on the North Sulphur River last weekend, but came home with a fossil that has me puzzled. It's 2 1/2" long, slightly curved, with smooth surface texture. I'm assuming it's a tooth of some sort? Thanks for your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 While I could be wrong, it has some resemblance to giant beaver molars that I've seen online. If not beaver I would say a juvenile horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 It appears to me to be a fragment of a lower horse cheek tooth, perhaps the entoflexid and hypolophid. 5 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...
