JessM Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hi friends! My friend found this while digging in a creek in Polk county, central Florida. Our best guess is horse of some kind? Sorry there is no ruler included in the pictures, but for reference, the white bucket in the picture is a standard 5 gallon plastic bucket. He thinks it's a lower jaw piece but I'm thinking it's upper. The pointy forked protrusion has me especially curious, as I have not seen that in the pictures I've been finding. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts and guidance Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Upper jaw and skull section of a Bovid, I'm guessing cow. Bison is a possibility but I'd want to see close up pictures of the teeth and have the widths of the teeth as well. Try and focus on the stylid (circled below) for the pictures and measure the width for the tooth as the red line indicates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
