2 Florida 3-toed horse teeth

[Meganeura]

So was digging through my box of horse teeth frags, and came across these 2 teeth that are quite worn/damaged but still complete enough to (possibly) see the pattern on. So @fossillarry when you get the chance… 

 

First one - apl is 16mm, top to bottom of chewing surface is 17.3mm.

 

Second one - apl of 14mm, atw of 8.7mm.

 

First I can’t remember where I found it… probably the peace. Second was found in the spoils pile in front of the Mulberry Phosphate Museum.

 

thanks in advance!

Coco I love that even your usernames are translated into French. That’s amazing.

Daniel,

I think crown height is the measurement from root to chewing surface. Your 1st tooth is an upper and the 2nd tooth is a lower.

The upper is beyond my capabilities. 

The 2nd tooth might be a lower left m1/m2,  and is one of the smaller horse teeth we find. I think Nannippus would look similar. The one below is smaller than yours. There have been a number of recent threads.

Is crown height the height of the tooth?? I thought it was the “width” of the tooth. From bottom of the chewing surface to top. Whoops. And agreed - I was thinking Aztecus for the lower.

I think that the first tooth is to worn and fragmentary for a reliable for a reliable identification.  I agree with Jack that the second tooth is from Nannippus but is from a lower premolar 3/4.
