Tiny fossilized tooth

Recommended Posts

Any ideas on who this belong to? I’m pretty sure this is fossilized but not 100%. Area is almost entirely Miocene.

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.

Kinda random guess...  Mylagaulid?  

 

 

 
Dang you’re good @ParkerPaleo !  I’m pretty sure you nailed it. I don’t know if you could get much closer than that. Thanks everyone.
