derrickhodapp Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Hello folks I am new to the forum. I mostly hunt for arrow points but recently found this fossil tooth on a hunt and was looking for ID help. I found it on a sand island in the Missouri River in Missouri. It seems to be a molar of probably a herbivore, not sure what time period. About 1.25" long. Very cool deep blue color, the river has polished it like glass but all the fine details of the tooth are preserved. I would say it was a older animal judging by how worn the chewing side of the tooth is. Any help would be appreciated. Happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Welcome to the Forum ! Looks to be a bovid cheek tooth, maybe Bison. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

abyssunder Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 If I measured correctly and the scale in the last picture is in inch, the tooth length should be roughly 1.5 in, that means 38mm.
