RescueMJ Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Hello, I have positively identified three other teeth today by looking through the FF gallery and UF Florida Museum collections. This tooth is different from the Equus examples. I could not match it up with camel either. Some of you have incredible collections. Fossil collected from retention pond spoils in North Port, FL. Hole depth 5-10 feet below sea level. Area near Little Salt Spring. Thank you in advance for your knowledge. Regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The only thing I know of from Florida with that complex of an enamel ridge pattern are horse teeth. It seems it would be a bad day to start any 1000 piece puzzles as I can't seem to rotate your partial tooth to get it to match up with any images of Equus teeth online. Here are a couple of useful images to use for comparison: Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 It's appears to me to be a fragment of the posterior of an upper left P3 from Equus. 4 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...

RescueMJ Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Thanks for the assist. My other 3 horse teeth were lowers. Didn’t realize the big difference between upper and lower teeth. I read Hulbert’s paper on Cormohipparion (1988) and reviewed diagrams. No P3 left side. I learned a lot. Thanks again for the resource. - Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
