Bradley Flynn Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm thinking it's a camelid incisor. The guy I got this from over the weekend says he is not sure where it's from, the other fossils that are in the same collection where local pleistocene mammals and shark teeth. Obviously this tooth stood out to me as it is a much lighter grey than what's uasally found on the beach in that area, although not uncommon. Would just like to know if anybody can confirm camel or have another suggestion based on looks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley Flynn Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Now I'm thinking this tooth belongs to bovidae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty large tooth, any ideas to which species it could have belonged to? I have looked at some bison teeth online and the enamel looks a bit gritty compared to this one, although I definitely think it's a bos species. Still looking into it, suggestions are welcome.
