smthomas Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Found this tooth on a beach in Dorset, UK many years ago but just re-found it again... Was wondering what it could be, a horse possibly? Would love to know more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yup. Looks Equus to me. If you do a search on this forum for "horse teeth" or maybe "Equus" you should find lots of other posts with images that look similar to your tooth. Nice find--great color. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Looks like a cross between Edvard Much's "The Scream" and a zombified version of Kermit the Frog--nightmarish either way. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
