Fruitbat Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 We will need to see the occlusal (chewing) surface to even venture a guess. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I am having a hard time seeing a tooth here. I think it is a bone fragment that resembles a tooth, but no tooth.

doushantuo Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 if it were a tooth,A good SEM pic of the occlusal surface would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just like what @ynot said, it does look like a tiny piece of bone. But it's still a cool fossil! Quick question though: what device did you use to take the pics of the fossil in your hand? I'd really like to know because I sometimes post fossils for ID just like you of very small things, and when they ask me for a detail, I'm screwed because all I have is an iPhone 5... Anyways cool find, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Anyways cool find, Max If you do a Forum search for cell phone microscopes, there are a number of inexpensive devices and ideas that work really well. Also, it helps to take pictures outside, in natural sunlight.

Fruitbat Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I'cm afraid that I have to agree with ynot (not that I have a problem agreeing with him!). I'm not seeing any sign of any typical rodent occlusal pattern. Of course...it could be an incisor but those are usually chisel-shaped at one end and are frequently orange in color (I've even seen the color retained in some fossils from Eocene/Oligocene rodent teeth from the White River badlands). -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
