Sacha Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I brought this premolar back from The Santa Fe this week. I'm assuming it's from a medium sized cat, but I am almost always completely wrong on my ID's so I would appreciate input from anyone, but especially @Harry Pristis and @Shellseeker. The tooth measures 21mm long and 9mm thick. Thanks for your time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Nice find, but not a premolar!

Sacha Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thanks Harry. I would never have figured it for a molar, but that just shows my streak continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Find... I love carnassials. I have seen Harry's excellent photos before, trying to ID my own cat teeth finds. That point 9 inch sticks in my brain.
