Stephen burge Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Hi everyone I’m looking for a ID on this tiger tooth bought from Indonesia, it comes from Java island Solo. Possibly from which extinct tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen burge Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 Once I have received the tooth I’ll post better photos of the tooth. I also have this tooth I need identifying also from Indonesia Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crown looks like the big Elosuchus (croc) teeth I've seen from the Kem Kem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blade/ carinae/ whatever you call it on mammal teeth goes front to back, not side to side like on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen burge Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 Yes my thoughts also. The root to me looks like a piece of rib bone fixed to a large croc tooth but can’t see where they have joined it. Could it be possible to be a rooted croc tooth?
