Chrostianreig Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hi all, hoping you might be able to help me identify this tooth-looking thing I found whilst mud-larking the Thames. Some info: -It is about two inches long -The black and white part is shiny like a tooth and the brown part is more matte I have no experience in this field, so I’d be grateful to hear any thoughts you have, and if it even is a fossil at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzBernhard Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Welcome to TFF from Austria! Very nice, rooted tooth! I don´t know which animal it belonged to and it could also be a modern/recent tooth, but I am not sure. More knowledgeable members sure will comment, too. Anyway, nice find and a keeper!

Coco Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hi, I think it could be dolphin or cetacean. @Boesse Coco 1 ---------------------- OUTIL POUR MESURER VOS FOSSILES : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 1 (Poissons et sélaciens récents & fossiles) : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 2 (Animaux vivants - sans poissons ni sélaciens) : ici Mâchoires sélaciennes récentes : ici Hétérodontiques et sélaciens : ici Oeufs sélaciens récents : ici Otolithes de poissons récents ! ici Un Greg...

Harry Pristis Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Looks canid to me. A large domestic dog is likely. 1 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...
Boesse Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I agree with @Harry Pristis - this immediately screamed 'terrestrial carnivore' to me and canid in particular. Given that it's the UK fox is also a possibility, perhaps unlikely due to the size, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
