Lydia.K.Tyree Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) These are multituberculate teeth found in the lance formation, I have yet to identify all of them and would like some insight. I have to post these in groups because there are so many but I can share the animals I think show the closest resemblance.

Lydia.K.Tyree Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Here are the rest of the teeth. they all fit within 2-4 mm. I will upload the suspected class when I have the chance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 If you can find William Clemens' paper on Lance Fm Multituberculates, it is a great start for IDing these. Nice teeth, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearLake Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I can't help with an ID unfortunately, but I just wanted to say those are a couple of really neat teeth. Thanks and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia.K.Tyree Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Sorry, I think the files were too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 the third photo in this second batch looks like a Meniscoessus tooth. I would have to look at the books to see which tooth, but it has big cusps separated by deep canyons. Meniscoessus is the biggest multituberculate in the Lance, but I am having a hard time seeing the size on these. Your initial mention of 2 to 4 mm is not good enough; size is very important in IDing Lance multis. Did you do some screen washing to get this many? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Clemens' tome is not easliy available, but htisone is and is just as useful...
