abyssunder Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Maybe this helps, also: excerpt from Atlas of Animal Bones.

garyc Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Yes, thanks for the visual aid. I have something similar, but yours is more clear. Beaver it is. Question now is whether modern or pleistocene. It's well mineralized. Total occlusal length is 3.8 centimeters which seems longer than what is indicated in the line drawing; but I have no idea what the ranges could be. I know it's not from the giant beaver.
