abyssunder Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The second one looks like a juvenile mastodon, Mammut americanum tooth to me.

abyssunder Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm no expert in teeth and probably Harry is right, but can we have a view of the occlusal surface of the second tooth?

Harry Pristis Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The tooth is a greatly beach-polished tapir lower cheek tooth: 2 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...
abyssunder Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I agree,Tapir teeth. The polishing and the missing ridge part was confusing leading me to think it's a mastodon baby milk tooth. Thank you Robin for the new pictures and Harry for the clarification. Good job, everyone!
