Shellseeker Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Cal, A while back, I got this excellent set of lower/upper Latrans carnassials from Harry. Measurements on the lower yields 21mm (.83 inch). The tooth to be IDed is a little over .6 inch, but may be just expected variability. It is a small canid and that limits our choices, so Coyote is most probable.

Harry Pristis Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I found this image at pixgood.com; their source is otherwise undisclosed: ~.jpg Thanks for the heads-up, Chas, but I couldn't find the image at pixgood.com. That is an image from my gallery on TFF that has been viewed nearly 1600 times. I don't think the mystery tooth is a coyote carnassial. In fact, I don't think it's a carnassial at all. It reminds me of a p4 or a P3, but I don't recognize the species. I thought it might be from a river otter, but now I'm skeptical after a little research. 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...
Auspex Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I thought it looked like your style of presentation, Harry, but there is no attribution on the site at which I found it.
