Shellseeker Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 We need someone who is much more knowledgeable of the Hell Creek fauna. However, IF I found your tooth in Florida, it would be tapir, probably a lower jaw tooth. @Harry Pristis might have a better comment 1 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Again this not a Hell Creek tooth, not Hells Creek. Please provide county where found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) I am getting a White River Oligocene feel on this piece, thinking Subhyracodon Rhino. @jpc @ParkerPaleo what do you think? Edited August 27, 2022 by Nimravis 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerPaleo Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 +1 White River and not Hell Creek I'm not certain its Subhyracodon. Rhino for sure. I was thinking Hyracodon M1? But I'm not super confident in that either. https://umorf.ummp.lsa.umich.edu/wp/specimen-data/?Model_ID=1220 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossillarry Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It looks like a rhino upper premolar 2/3 but with no measurements hard to say more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Note the prominent cingulum, lacking in tapir teeth. I agree that this is rhino upper of some sort. 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...

Shellseeker Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Richard Hulbert identified this as a T. proterum upper molar from Bone Valley back in February. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
