Fossil Collect Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I think B is some sort of pig and C is a horse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really intrigued about the possible identification of the pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I think bovid; camelid p4; and equid. 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...

It really intrigues me that the tooth could potentially belong to a camelid, since we would be talking about the last ice age and, apologizing in advance for my ignorance, I don't know of any representative of that family that will inhabit China at that time. It's interesting! Edited March 26, 2023 by Granth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 You're right, not likely to be camelid. Cervid, even a bovid is much more likely. 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...

I know that they are not great and that they are not in the best condition either, but they seem interesting to me as they are Chinese mammals.
