Fishinfossil Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Found in Ram. Looks mammalian, possibly beaver? Throwing me off because it doesn't seem modern. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricWonders Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Beaver Molar. I’d say Pleistocene or Holocene. Cool find! Edited April 16, 2021 by Familyroadtrip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyquest Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Nice. Looks exactly like the one I found there last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyquest Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Nice tooth. Edited April 16, 2021 by jonnyquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) There are no Miocene fossils in Ramanessin Brook, only Upper Cretaceous and very rare Pleistocene. That tooth could be either Pleistocene or Modern. Edited April 16, 2021 by Jeffrey P 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyquest Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 It looks fossilized. I know mine is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyquest Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) So would everyone say pleistocene or holocene? Edited April 16, 2021 by jonnyquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jersey Devil Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think it's modern.

Rockwood Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Unless there is a morphological distinction other than size it may be hard to pin this one down tight. Modern could mean early European trappers, and I'm sure the big uns died young sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
