shel67 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I found this in the water at the North Sulphur River in Ladonia, Texas. Any ideas? Canine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 How does "George" sound for a name of that tooth? Id looks canid to Me but I do not know teeth. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Miocene_Mason Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Reminds me of a shrew tooth, but it also reminds me of a cave bear molar, so I'm not that helpful. Looks like more of a "Mike" to me.... “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cave bears are a european asian species and would not be found in Texas, Sorry. PS a straight down view of the chewing surface would help with an id. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Yeah, I was using that to show how unsure I was, but now thinking about it, it could be brown or black bear, I'm guessing others will know more than myself on mammal teeth “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 @shel67 We still need a picture of the chewing surface. @Fruitbat or @Harry Pristis may know what it is. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Harry Pristis Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 It's a lower molar, m1, the carnassial from a canid. (The upper carnassial is a premolar, P4.) Domestic dog might be a good guess.
