diginupbones Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 @Harry Pristis identified one of these for me not too long ago. Could I possibly be lucky enough to have found another one? This one is quite a bit smaller than the last one, but still a big tooth! L-32. W-23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diginupbones Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 So @Harry Pristis , do you think that this tooth is from the same critter that you identified for me last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Dunno . . . these isolated selenodont teeth are difficult. 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...

fossillarry Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 This tooth is from a medium sized Miocene oreodont and I am not sure what genus it belongs to. It is for sure is not a protocerid which have much heavier cigulums around the inner base of the tooth and a large interstyler cusp between the protocone and the hypocone, among other differences. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diginupbones Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Very cool! I’ve been wanting to get oreodont checked off my list for a long time. Had one in my collection and didn’t even know it. Thanks much. 19 minutes ago, fossillarry said: This tooth is from a medium sized Miocene oreodont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
