johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Found this tooth on a gravel bank here in Southeast Texas. I think it's an equus upper cheek tooth? I haven't found one this small...so my question is - Was this from an older horse and it's been worn down to this size? It seems fossilized or heavily mineralized. ..solid as a rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meganeura Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Right upper Equus molar! I found one of those yesterday myself. Yours isn’t small really, just not huge, as far as I can tell. Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking for some on Horse and will save your photos , especially the last one.
