Florida Teeth

Recommended Posts

I have here two teeth from North Florida. Larger one is 1.18" long and 0.25" wide; smaller one is 1" long and 0.28" wide. My guess was coyote or wolf, would these be accurate?

 

Thank you,

Bellamy

I think some shots straight down/perpendicular to the lens (in profile etc) .. will help as well for an ID. These obtuse angles sometimes make the subtle shapes hard to read. I suspect @Shellseeker @jcbshark might have some thoughts if they are able to swing by. 

 

Cheers,

Thanks for letting me know, I took a few more shots. Hopefully these are more helpful for anyone checking the thread out!

 

Best,

Bellamy

If these are wolf or coyote, they must be deciduous teeth.  In fact, I have not seen a canine I could identify as deciduous because there is always a smaller carnivore to which the canine can be credited.  I defer to @PrehistoricFlorida who lives in North Florida and who systematically collects canines.

Not canid. I believe I sold you the one on the right at least, but possibly both. The one circled in blue is River Otter, the one circled in yellow is Raccoon.

Haha that's right. I lost the labels for some of my Floridian material. You did sell me these, and I believe these are right. Thank you!
