Fossiljones Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hi All, I'm currently on a dive trip to the Cooper River in SC. I found this tooth the other day. The guys I'm diving with believe it to be a horse incisor. To me, it seems too straight to be horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 This is an incisor from a tapir. Nice find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossiljones Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Wow, that was quick, thanks Cris ! I've only found one other Tapir tooth, a molar, but I think it's a pretty one. I found this one two years ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 That is a very nice tapir tooth. Good colors and nice roots. And good job recognizing that the incisor wasn't quite right to be horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
