Petebeh Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hi everyone, I am new to this great forum, and am seeking advice on 2 beaver (?) teeth I have found during my trips to Ramanessin over the past year. From the size of the larger tooth, it appears to be from a giant beaver- is this an example of Castoroides ohioensis from the Pleistocene epoch? Is it possible to tell if the smaller tooth is modern (based on size), or potentially from the Pleistocene (perhaps a juvenile)? Regardless, these teeth are so cool! Thank you for your help!

FossilDAWG Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Your photos will not open. Can you post them directly to the forum? Posting them as jpg files should reduce the file size which might help. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Yes, they appear to be Castoroides and Castor. 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...
