Stegodon molar - How much is missing?


Witchdagger

Recommended Posts

i want to have an idea of how much tooth is missing from this partial one and if it's a fairly standard size in terms of width. normally the ridges look closer together in other stegodon teeth i've seen.  are there any visual ways of getting an idea of how old it is? (wasnt sure where to put this question, sorry)

Are there pictures of the other sides, bottom?

 

Knowing exactly where it is from will help with the age of this fossil. 

Ballpark figures are more likely than exact answers here.

I would say it looks at least about half is missing, if not more, ... judging by other teeth posted online. 

Wait for other opinions, though.
