Unidentified Fossilized Tooth Found Today In South-Central Great Lakes Region (Canada)


Great Lakes

Recommended Posts

I found this fossilized tooth today submerged within the Nottawasaga River (North of Toronto, Ontario, Canada - within the Great Lakes Basin).

Can anyone help me to identify it? I've included some scans below. Thanks in advance.

I'll try some better macro close-up images later, as these scans are not well lit enough to see the detail.

A sharp, well lit image of the chewing surface (and good measurements) would give us the best shot at identifying it.

Unfortunately the camera focused in on the 10 cent piece instead. Yes better lighting and multiple shots of different angles.j

This is a white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fossil molar next to a US quarter. If your chewing surface looks the same, we have a match.
