andy_mnemonic Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I've had this tooth for a little while and would like to confirm with the resident horse experts @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker if it is an Archaeohippus tooth. It is from Dixie County, FL and measures 9.5 x 12.3 x 14.3mm. Thanks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Gorgeous tooth. I am excited on what it might me. My knowledge of pre-hipparion Florida horse teeth is very limited. I have only ever found 2 in my hunting area, and Hulbert indicated that those were most likely related to Merychippus. 3 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...

Some of these early teeth can look pretty similar...I have this one as well that was labelled as Parahippus leonensis but I thought might be another Archaeohippus. It was found in the Suwannee River and the larger tooth measures 10 x 12 mm. Which do you think it could be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 There are 3 horses from the Miller Site in the Suwannee River: Archaeotherium, Parahippus, and Anchitherium. You appear to have Parahippus sp. The Parahippus is likely a new species. 2 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...
