coled18 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Very cool finds. I would agree that F is a molar of a canine, and that the very last one is a partial mammoth tooth. I think G may be from a Bison. I am sure there will be others that can help. 2 CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coled18 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 O may be a porpoise tooth fragment, and L may be a peccary tooth. CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 A and K beaver incisors. C beaver cheek tooth. Just guessing but they look rodent to Me and the only rodent I know of that has that size is the giant beaver. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Miocene_Mason Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 E looks kind of opposum like 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...
abyssunder Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Specimen B-B4 looks to be a mammoth tusk fragment, considering its shape and the angles between the Schreger lines (in the cross section) lower than 95 degrees. I don't know if can be narrowed down to the species level. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
