Horse Tooth

Recommended Posts

Found in a creek west of Minneapolis. Seems mineralized. Horse I assume. I was reading in some reference recently that under ideal conditions a tooth could "fossilize" in as little as 20-40 years. ???

Thanks in advance for your help.

Horse upper molar. The protocone is short and rounded, the internal borders of the fossetts are not very complicated, and there is a distinct pli-caballin fold.

The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".

Equus shows up in the Early Blancan (Pliocene), so could be as old as that.
