Peace river rat Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Found this and I think also a deer tooth? in the peace river. Dugong is my guess. Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think the larger tooth is a modern pig molar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace river rat Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Perhaps, but it does seem very mineralized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Mineralization can happen quickly in streams and rivers. I agree the large one is pig. Will need pictures of the chewing surface of the smaller one. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Peace river rat Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Thanks guys, unfortunately I don't have camera access for a while but I will add some when possible. The smaller one, I don't think is deer(on second thought) I have not seen deer teeth with 3 ridges but I am very far from expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I agree with the larger tooth being pig. I posted a tooth a while back for id and it looks exactly the same. Dave I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Sus scrofa and a deer deciduous premolar. You can see it in this image with the permanent tooth peeking out from below. 4 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...

Yeah I found mine next to a local trout stream while looking for old bottles. There is a road on the top of a ravine that overlooks the stream at the bottom. People have been dumping stuff there for years. I have found a kinds of stuff there. An old car, engine block, washers and dryers, old bottles, old bones, an old rusty meat cleaver, marbles, etc. And the pig tooth. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
