Napoleon North Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) This is yet another notch. Whose could it be? Whether it is a fossil? Found on site being prepared for construction. Edited May 26, 2013 by Napoleon North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 http://www.wtamu.edu/~rmatlack/Mammalogy/carnassial.htm It is that small upper tooth forward of the carnassial in a predator. The link shows one from a mountain lion, but your is much smaller. small cat (bobcat) or coyote are possibilities The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 So this fossil? Thanks you;) Not sure, I do not know what small predators existed in Poland in Pleistocene. In looking at the roots specifically, if I found this in the Peace River Florida (Pleistocene), I would identify as fossil, but I am looking for others to post with their viewpoints. Here is a better photo of bobcat tooth/jaw from Pleistocene (Florida_ about 10 photos down in the webpage. http://paleoenterprises.com/cat.htm The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Appears to be a canid upper P3. Felids have more accessory cusps on their premolars, both upper and lower. Lower premolars on canids have much stronger posterior cusps. The upper P3 has just a single posterior cusp, sitting right on he cingulum, as does this tooth. No way to tell if it is fossil, at least from the photo. Rich Edited May 26, 2013 by RichW9090 The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW9090 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Appears to be the same tooth - if not the identical specimen - it is also a canid upper P3 for the same reasons. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
