jenpetro Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 We went on a canoe trip yesterday in the peace river in Florida and found these among other fossils. We have been doing internet research ever since. We've been going back and forth over horse, bison, beaver... we have no idea. This is our first ever fossil outing. Please help us ameturs!!!! The teeth are about 2-2 1/2 inches long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I would like to see a pic of the chewing surface. They could very well be horse, but there are many other types of teeth from the Peace that are similar looking in profile.
