andy_mnemonic Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 This tooth for sale caught my eye and was hoping someone could help ID it. It was purportedly found in Miocene deposits of Arizona and I _think_ it's a late wear stage cheek tooth of Pliohippus sp. I do not have measurements at this time. Thanks for the help!

LabRatKing Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I have no clue, but those are the most perfect pre and post fossette and protocone I have ever seen. It is unlike anything similar I have seen up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 What reference did you use to suggest an identification of Pliohippus? The oldest record of Equini (Mammalia: Equidae) from Mexico is a pdf available on the internet. One of the photos. "i" is late stage wear and seems similar to your tooth.

That is the same publication I was looking at and figure "i" was the best fit I've been able to find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
