theroachmotel Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I found this tooth in Hogtown Creek in Gainesville, Florida yesterday! I need some help to identify it. Here in Gainesville we have the Miocene Epoch prevalent in our fresh waters. I am thinking it's a fossilized ancient horse tooth. A partial molar perhaps. Can some of you help me out? I am brand new to this forum, and hope to post many more finds! I recently got back into fossil hunting again, used to dig in the creeks as a kid and have many shark teeth, bones, and other fossils!

Auspex Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 All I can suggest is that it is a piece of a mammal molar; whether there is enough there to narrow it down, I do not know.

PrehistoricFlorida Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 This tooth is so fragmentary that it is not possible to identify it to genus or species. It is a horse tooth, anything beyond that is pure conjecture. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theroachmotel Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ok thank you for clarifying a bit. I have other photos bit the forum states they are too large to upload. If I can post others I will! Wish it was intact. Follow me on social media! I have worked as a radio DJ for over 16 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
