Kiros Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Can anyone help me identifying this jaw, unfortunately the selle can't send me a photo of the chewing surface. I can't understand if it is a boar jaw or a tapir jaw. I'd like to hear your opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I wouldn't trust a seller who cannot send a picture of the chewing surface. That said, I don't think it is possible to confidently ID without that view.

I think so too, the problem is that the auction ends in few hours and he is outside home so he can't send me the image in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'd pass, still.

Shellseeker Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 For what it is worth, I believe that it is not tapir, and I have seen quite a bit of tapir lately, including 2 teeth (molars) in the mandible. I can not be positive, feeling not tapir, 60-40....

Kiros Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Foud this old tread, the mandible is almost identical. I think it's boar/pig gonna pass. For a moment I even though it was a black bear jaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
