Shellseeker Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 A pretty impressive tooth. I think it is an M2, 70 mm long and 37 mm across the chewing surface. Seems to be fossilized but Peace River is a dark water river and can make a modern tooth look fossilized. Would larger size imply Bison? The tooth is in fantastic shape but that can be normal for many of the fossils coming from the sand, mud, clay, gravel mixture near the banks of this spot. What about the chewing surface, it seems missing/eroded. Poor fossilization or recently erupted or ?

Harry Pristis Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Good find, Jack. Nice newly-erupted specimen with just the slightest wear. 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...
