meg.cu Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Is this cave lion jaw? There is restoration to the tip of the canine, the rest of fossil is natural. Is this rare in this condition?

caldigger Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Do you have a picture looking straight down on the tooth surface? Multiple pictures from different perspectives always helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 As @caldigger says, a photo of the chewing surface is useful. On the photos below i show you my tooth of cave lion to compare yours with it. The problem is that the molars of the cave hyena looks very much about it. So, a close-up of the different teeth you have on that jaw would also be very useful. Cheers, Sophie. 2 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

abyssunder Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Sorry I'm jumping in the thread, but I have some useful references with pictures to compare your specimen. Beside the occlusal view of the teeth, lingual and labial views of the mandible are necessary to a correct ID, as it was said before. excerpt from Baryshnikov, Gennady & Petrova, E.A.. 2008.
