giftedsifrhippus Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) This partial mandible was found on private land in the Willwood Formation of the Bighorn Basin. It is likely a right M1 and partial M2. I've been able to identifying it down to Perissodactyla indet. but cannot go further. I'm leaning towards something like Cardiolophus but I'm not sure. Would appreciate any help. Edited March 1, 2021 by giftedsifrhippus added images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi gifted..... Others have suggested I have a look. I collect quite a bit in the Eocene of Wyoming and am learning to ID these darn things. I agree with you that you have an m1 m2 of a perissodactyl, but I cannot give you the better more detailed answer you want. Not without going through all sorts of books and papers. (I do have an ambitious plan to do a field guide to these things someday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
