I recently purchased a few mammal teeth that seemed odd or rare. But since I am a dinosaur expert I don't really now much about them. Just looking for help on what they are, and if the labels given are accurate.

 

Tooth #1, after some research I realize the age is off a bit, probably closer to 2.5-5MYA based on newer research of the Quiburis.  0.5" tall and 0.5" wide

Tooth #2 same formation, probably camel? 1.25" long.

Tooth #3, from Indonesia claims to be a Hippo molar. 1" tall, 1.5" wide. Pretty cool tooth. Location known, formation not known.

No. 1 does appear to be a suid.  You can research Perchoerus sp. for your location.

No. 2 appears to be an equus horse incisor, not camel.

No. 3 does appear to be to be a hippo tooth.  I can't vouch for the name on the label.
