Hello friends,

 

This week I received the following specimens and I would like to know which creature they belonged to.

 

A) Bovine (?)

I think B is some sort of pig and C is a horse.

Wow, thank you very much! I'm really intrigued about the possible identification of the pig.

I think bovid; camelid p4; and equid.

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!

You're right, not likely to be camelid.  Cervid, even a bovid is much more likely.

 

¿Do you think it would be possible to assign a specific identification to these specimens?

 

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.
