Gizmo Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 This tooth was found last week as float while sifting in this Lower Calvert formation member. All of the other finds were of marine origin, shark teeth, shark verts. , ray plates, etc. Many thanks for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It's a selenodont artiodactyl m3 -- probably from a cow. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see the bovine stylid, although the tooth is so dark it's hard to tell for sure. Also, it seems small for a cow or other bovine.
