Guest bmorefossil Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Here is another pic I'm not really sure, it's small, could be seal, or some kind of small land mammal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to be a molar tooth. Do you have any seal material to compare it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Do you have a Dugongid in that fauna, Ken? Your tooth reminds me of a dugong molar. 1 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...
makoken Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Do you have a Dugongid in that fauna, Ken? Your tooth reminds me of a dugong molar. Yes, after looking over the STH fauna list presented by the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History, they list: order Sirenia, family Dugongidae Metaxytherium cf. I'll have to look into this further. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
