gwbh Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Could someone ID the two jaw sections on the right? I know the one on the left is rhino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guguita2104 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Fantastic ! I just know they're all mammal. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyrice11 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I honestly don't know a lot outside of invertebrate paleontology, but I agree that those are definitely mammal. Far right is something that probably would have eaten a lot of fruit and nuts.. they honestly look really similar to human molars, so I wonder if they came from some sort of ancient primate or something? Nice finds!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice finds!! On second thought, they're probably not primate molars.. just now realized that it says you're from Georgia so that rules out that idea lol.. Do you happen to know the approximate age of these fossils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I am thinking (L-R) Titanothere tooth, Hyracodon lower jaw and teeth and Mesohippus jaw section- Oligocene South Dakota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Could someone ID the two jaw sections on the right? I know the one on the left is rhino. 2.jpg I assume these are not from Georgia. Do you have any location information for them? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwbh Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 I assume these are not from Georgia. Do you have any location information for them? These are not from Georgia. They are donations for a fossil display im putting together, having a hard time getting the donor to respond. Its getting towards the final time I can work on it so I am in a hurry to ID them. Not sure of age or deposit. I am thinking (L-R) Titanothere tooth, Hyracodon lower jaw and teeth and Mesohippus jaw section- Oligocene South Dakota. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwbh Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Can anyone confirm Nimravis is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyrice11 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Can anyone confirm Nimravis is correct? I would say that's your best bet for now. Stinks that you can't get a response from the donor in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Can anyone confirm Nimravis is correct? I agree with Nimravis . . .

Fruitbat Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I agree with Nimravus' identifications. The jaw fragment on the far right is a partial Mesohippus upper dental array. The one on the far left strikes me more as a titanothere partial tooth (I'd have to see a picture of the occlusal surface to be more definitive). The one in the center appears to be a partial 'rhino' lower jaw section, though once again I really need to see a view of the occlusal surface to be more definite. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre464 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Awesome teeth, gwbh. Good job, Nimravis!!
