suedbq Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 This was found near Custer Park in South Dakota. I know it is part of a jaw bone with a tooth in it but I cannot figure out what kind of mammal it might belong to. Can you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Someone must have dropped it at Custer State Park- I do not believe that there are any Oligocene exposures in Custer- 50 or so miles to the East yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. That is possible. I was walking on a trail near Hermosa and it was just sitting there in the middle of the trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suedbq Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for the information. I appreciate it. I plan on making a shadow box for it and wanted to be able to put some kind of label on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
