diginupbones Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Any ideas on who this belong to? I’m pretty sure this is fossilized but not 100%. Area is almost entirely Miocene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerPaleo Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Kinda random guess... Mylagaulid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) rodent is all I can say. But there are a lot of Miocene rodents to choose from and I do not know them at all. I barely know the Oligocene and Eocene ones I collect. That is a big rodent tooth, so Mylagaulid is a good guess from my perspective, but there are other options. If you are feeling brave, go to Google Scholar and do a search on Miocene Rodent. The ID is based on the pattern you see in the first photo.

I don’t know if you could get much closer than that. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerPaleo Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I'm amazed that I remember these things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 How cool is that! Those little critters are my absolute favorite. I can't think of anything more fun than a horned rodent (other than Mylagaulid coprolite).
