PODIGGER Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I was out on the Peace River, FL yesterday and found several interesting fossils. By taking advantage of many of @Harry Pristis excellent photo arrays I identified teeth found yesterday as domestic pig and a horse incisor. Unfortunately, even with Harry's example of cow vs bison and looking at several other sources I am still unable to decide if my find is bison. So I am hoping for some input from all of you to help with a definitive ID. The crown/bite surface of the tooth measures 32mm x 28mm. In the first photo I have placed yesterday's find on the left and what I believe to be a cow molar on the right. The remaining photos are of the tooth found yesterday. It is larger and much bulkier than what I believe is the cow tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PODIGGER Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Thanks Harry. Any opinion on bison or cow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 No guess. Bison might die of old age; but, I don't know about cows. 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...
