Rock fort Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi, found this tooth in Kallo - Belgium, near the Schelde river. I have never seen a tooth like this before - someone suggested it may be a fragment from a horse tooth? Any other ideas? Thank you, Jelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Kind of reminds me of an isolated fragment of something like a bison/cow tooth or possibly camelid. The length could be appropriate for a horse tooth but the bit of the occlusal surface does not suggest that (to me). Cool find. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google "selenodont teeth" for the list of animals from your region. 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...
