Mammal tooth

Recommended Posts

A friend asked me to ID this one, and he and I have a different view of what it might be. So I will ask the help of my friends on the fossil forum.

I believe that Harry IDed a tooth just like this one a couple of years back, but we'll see.

Thanks for any all IDs

Back 5 years ago,  @Harry Pristis identified this friend's tooth as a Bison lower p3.

 

I found a very small tooth yesterday that seems similar..  Same ID or Different?IMG_0335text.jpg.c8895ef42b4be14043ea8356079be6f4.jpgIMG_0333crop.thumb.jpg.e0fb07d72db280db61cabf2460986b76.jpgIMG_0331crop.thumb.jpg.e95536bb8a21b12ecb4d04df8ecd74b9.jpg

This looks like a worn deer premolar.

Thanks for the suggestion. It may be just locally,  but my impression of deer premolars is that they are very small, in the range of 10 mm APL.

See this thread and the excellent photo from Harry.

@Harry Pristis

This find would seem to be Hemiauchenia, and given the location found could be macrocephala, blancoensis, or gracilis

Your APL in 19.3, mine is 15.5 and Meachen's gracilis seems to be 13.9 mm.

 

Do you have other  Hemiauchenia teeth for APL comparison.  Thanks Jack
