DaverV Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Found this large broken tooth turned up in a agricultural field, 1/4 mile from a large river. the tooth is 2.5" long & i would say that the broken root end was probably an inch longer. Any help would be appreciated. Found in SW Ontario, Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Not mammoth. Can we see pictures of the chewing surface? I'm thinking cow, but better pics of the chewing surface will help.

DaverV Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Thank guys! Here are some shots of the chewing surface. You can see that tooth is split lengthwise from the chewing surface to where it is broken at the root. Hope this helps identify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
