Peace River New Guy

Recommended Posts

These were found on my property on the river just south of Arcadia. I have absolutely no clue what these are. Everything else I was able to identify. The smaller tooth I found is the first one I've found that is that curved. The larger tooth is unique to me because of the fact that it is concave, which I tried to show in the pictures. Finally the mammal tooth I have had trouble figuring out. Maybe baby mammoth? 

 

Thanks in advance guys!

The mammoth tooth looks a little like a spit tooth to me. From what I know it is when the tooth gets so grounded down from eating that the mammoth ends up "spitting" it out. I am 90% sure that this is what that is but if someone could just double check my assumption that would be great!

I found one a decade ago:  Hemipristis serra symphyseal tooth.

You can see them in a modern Snaggletooth jaw here

Here is a good thread on Mammoth spit tooth:

Wow! Thanks guys! I was super excited when I found the mammoth tooth as it's my first one. I was betting the larger tooth I posted was a Giant White (Carcharodon plicatilis) by looking at different pictures. What's the main way to discern the difference between that and the mako?

We should ask the US Mint to print scales on the edges of dollar bills: inches on top, metric on the bottom.  It is unused space right now anyway. :unsure:

Hmmm,  when you are really old like me,  I sometimes adopt names for stuff that is changed after I adopt it.. I have to go back comparing the ones that I found to this table from Fossilguy. I have often wondered about this one... lots of different root shapes
