I recently got a fossil bear canine from a short faced bear. It was found in the Joshua creek. Now Arctodus pristinus and Tremarctos floridanus canines are very similar. I know that Arctodus is an early Pleistocene species while Tremarctos is a middle late Pleistocene. Is it possible to know the age of land fossils from Joshua creek?

Finds in Joshua Creek should be the same as the Peace River.....Pliocene to Pleistocene with some marine Miocene.

Thank you very much. Based on the dimension of the canine 6,2 cm (even if the tip of the root is broken) it's probably Tremarctos, not Arctodus

You should checked this thread.  See the comment by Richard Hulbert about the age of the mammal tooth I found.

The location was Joshua Creek.. Based on Fauna Available, it was likely late Pliocene, early Pleistocene.

Here is an Arctodus (female) that PrehistoricFlorida identified based on the age of the location for me... 5 years back

This is the tooth I got. Initially I thought Tremarctos as it is much more common but the I though that I don't know the age it come from. The dimension is pretty similar to yours
