PaleoMexico Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi!! I found these lower teeth from a possible member of the Camelidae in Coahuila, México (northern Mexico). They could help me if it is from a Llama (Lama, Hemiauchenia) or a camel (Camelops, Megatylopus, Gigantocamelus) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Those teeth look way larger than any camelid teeth we find in Florida. Absolute monsters! Spectacular associated set. If you can get a firm ID on the taxonomy they'd make a great addition to the Fossil Of The Month contest. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presence of Dp3 rules out that they are the Camelops or Gigantocamelops genera. It may be a member of the Lamini tribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstruos absolutos! Espectacular conjunto asociado. Si puede obtener una identificación firme en la taxonomía, serían una gran adición al concurso Fossil Of The Month. Salud. -Conocido Thank you for your comment!!! The size of the teeth is greater than that of Camelops. Most importantly, the presence of the Dp3 would be within the Lamini tribe.
