Carol Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Can anyone ID this tooth? It was in a box of fossils obtained from someone else. We think it was found in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 All I can say is that its mammalian. Someone like @Harry Pristis may be able to narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I think it's the end of a limb bone, looks like marrow in the second pic Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Not a tooth. I can only think of two possibilities: Distal end of a deer(?) tibia (as jcbshark suggests); or, a deer cubonavicular. My assessment is based on the double, parallel articular facets. 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...
caldigger Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I was going to say a partial Tapir tooth, but if HP says otherwise, I stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
