Peace River February 25th

I hardly ever go out on Weekends,   because it takes away the perception of solitude.  But today ,made an exception...

Showing off a couple of finds,  and asking a couple of questions... 

1st is a lower left Equus tooth,  likely the m1 or m2.

Equus is pretty common in the Peace River.  This one is pretty small at 24 mm APL.

Question:... What is you smallest APL for an Equus tooth?

 

2nd is a P. mirifica about the same size as the Equus tooth.

Blowup of enamel....

Question.  What has happened with this tooth?  Is that sparkly stuff druzy?

On the lower left enamel,  looks like HSBs ... but HSBs do not occur in Camelids..  So what are those slanting lines?

Here is an example of Hunter_Schreger Bands (HSBs) in Rhino teeth..IMG_6403.thumb.JPEG.407b5910b9124ad577418ad41df810b2.JPEG
