Wauchula Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Can't quite tell what kind of "dog" tooth this belongs to. I went for a trip on the Peace River and found a lot of mammal bits, but this is one that's still giving me trouble to ID. Would love to hear any thoughts. Thanks!

Shellseeker Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I believe that you have half a tooth, This is a canid carnassial. The most common large canid is Dire Wolf 7 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Looks to me like a 4th lower premolar (p4) of a dire wolf. 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...

Harry, NOT a broken Carnassial but a complete p4. You are obviously correct. I should have looked for the break...

Harry Pristis Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well, not a complete p4 . . . the anterior root is missing along with the bit of enamel "apron" to the primary cusp at the anterior of the crown. Still, a better than average find. 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...
