Chippewa Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Any help or hints on these two teeth? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The fist is a shark tooth and the 2nd photo implies it may be a small Meg but hard to tell. Photos are not clear. Could also be a Great White. 2nd Photo could be beaver or maybe horse. You gave us photo of the side and the roots. Most important photo is the chewing surface. Please provide a view of the opposite side of photo #5.

Harry Pristis Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The first image appears to be of the crown of an unworn tapir canine. We need an image of the occlusal surface to identify the second specimen. 2 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...

Chippewa Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks fellas (I didn't know tapir had a canine) and sorry - I thought I attached this photo of the occlusal surface of the second tooth. I know its not the best picture - I need to get a better camera Also, if it helps, one side of the tooth has contours, as shown, but the other side is flat and looks like there was originally more material there but it was broken/separated.

abyssunder Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The second one looks like a Giant Beaver (Castoroides sp.) tooth.
