Harry Pristis Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Not simply a beaver (Castor sp.), but a giant beaver (Castoroides sp.). 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...

Fossiljones Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks for the positive ID everyone! I'm happy to learn it's something a little out of the ordinary! I love the colors of this tooth which you can see most clearly in the last photo. The particular dive site where I found this tooth produces fossils in quite a variety of beautiful colors.
