Spencer Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 This item was found on Kiptopeke beach, on the southern tip of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I collect skulls (not fossils), so was pretty sure this is an herbivore tooth, and bigger than a horse. It is heavy, like a stone. From poking around some, my guess at this stage would be a bison molar. Some kind of large, extinct bison, I'd much appreciate any discussion, as this is the first fossil of note that I've ever found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Welcome to the Forum. Can we get a straight on shot of the chewing surface?

abyssunder Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It looks like a young adult bison lower m3, to me, considering the length of the crown and the level of wearing in which the stylid is intact.
