amandapetsch Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hello everyone! I have spent hours scouring the internet to figure out what these two teeth are from. I can't seem to find anything, though. I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. I found them on Tuesday along the Minnesota river bank near New Ulm, MN.

Miocene_Mason Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I agree with @Spinosaurus, that's a great find. Keep looking for stuff, you might find more!

amandapetsch Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Spinosaurus, That's interesting! I hadn't even considered Mammoth. I looked at bison, horse, camel, deer, moose, elk...., but not mammoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Mammoth? I'm not seeing parts of mammoth teeth there. They look more like unerupted artiodactyl teeth to me. More opinions? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I agree - not mammoth roots. I would go with Carl's take on it. @Harry Pristis 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Harry Pristis Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I agree with Carl -- mammal tooth roots, but not elephantoid. 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...
