ynot Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Welcome to Where was it found? How big is it? We need more information to really help! Tony PS I think it is bison, but futher information may change that opinion. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Fossildude19 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. This POST is a good one to compare yours to. I'm thinking probably cow, though.

abyssunder Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Generally, bison teeth are more robust than bos/cow teeth, and they are larger in the crown length. How long is the crown of your specimen? 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 January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The crown length of the tooth is approx. 1,25 in = 31.75mm. It could be either bison or bos/cow tooth. 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.
