meg.cu Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 This tooth is the biggest tooth I have seen come out of Cuba, it is a huge primary tooth. I will have to get Matty Swilp to restore the tooth when it arrives. 3 "Message me for info on Fossil Collecting in Cuba. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 It is a really nice tooth! What a shame about the saw mark. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 That's a humdinger! Good thing they stopped the saw when they did! Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg.cu Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 @aplomado I don't have the tooth my possession, so I don't have exact measurement, but it looks over 6.5" to me by looking at the six inch calipers. The calipers are under the root lobe a little, and maybe another half inch to tip, also I don't think caliper are on the correct slant/angle. A few of my friends think close to 6.75". I would love for people with more experience to give me guesstimate on this tooth from pictures. "Message me for info on Fossil Collecting in Cuba.

Miocene_Mason Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Very nice! Wish there were less potentially destructive methods of mining fossils than the saw. “...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...
