Hello! 

These are the teeth from my favourite miocene finding place. 

I know only the no.14. for sure, thats a giant salamander (Andrias scheuchzeri) "jaw" or dentaries. 

If You know the specimen or have a good tip, please help me to ID these teeth.
 

Thank You!

No. 1 looks like a piece of rhino tooth.

 

Yeah.  I was ambivalent about this #1, but it must be rhino.  If #1 is rhino, then #3 is also rhino -- a fragment of an upper premolar 2.  Keep in mind, these teeth are from an entirely different genus than the Teleoceras sp. I am showing you.

I've seen a lot of rhino tooth pieces from Bone Valley and you've probably seen more than I have.  I've seen some Miocene teeth from Nebraska and Texas as well.  And yes, it would be a different genus than what we see from North America but all those fossils together appear to represent a late Miocene fauna.  The horse is a hipparion-type and maybe even the genus, Hipparion, which immigrated with other mammals from North America into Asia and Europe during Clarendonian time (roughly the early Vallesian in the European mammal age equivalent).  It's a time when you'd see Hipparion, pigs, and tapirs together in Europe.  The jaw piece of Andrias schechzeri also indicates a late Miocene age.

 

I agree that other tooth looks like a rhino premolar.
