FossilDudeCO Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Looks like the cap of a tapir tooth to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 It's a tapir lower cheek tooth, unworn, perhaps unerupted. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavialboy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I agree with identification of it being a tapir tooth. weather you found or bought it, it still is rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 At the size reported, this tooth may be a dwarf tapir. The most common species in South Florida is Tapirus polkensis. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
