Susan from PA Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hello everyone! Behold the only tooth in my collection that doesn't belong to a dinosaur. . My daughter purchased it a few few years ago at the fossil show in Edison, New Jersey. Unfortunately, I've committed the cardinal sin of fossil collecting and lost the card with the name of the animal and the location it which is was found. The only thing I remember is that it was an Ice Age Hippopotamus and that it was found in Germany. Thanks so much for your help! More photos coming!

I had to take a minute before I could type a response! @Susan from PA I am going to have to disagree though, your side view doesn't look anything similar to Troodon's side view! Troodon, some more close ups may be needed haha! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 It is a Rhinoceros tooth. If it was found in Germany, there is a good chance for Coelodonta antiquitatis (Woolly Rhino). This is for example an M2 maxillaris sinister (upper left) of C. antiquitatis, from Germany. 2 " 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.

Thank you so much! I will try to research that species and see if I can find out if it is indeed from that species. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Teleoceras Proterum. Gererally Florida and Spain. This is an upper right M2. I think your tooth may be the same position. 2 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goatinformationist Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Oh yes, I have found many rinosaurus fossils in the Hollywood formation, lower LA. All those gleaming badly matching teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
