Bovid ID help


PODIGGER

Recommended Posts

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.
