matgerke Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I found this in a river in Virginia -- miocene Yorktown Formation. Does this look like a miocene horse? Maybe it's a modern horse tooth that got washed into the river? Any help from the experts appreciated! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The little vertical lines on the 2nd photo add in the elements of determination leading to the horse.

Fruitbat Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 +1 for 'modern' Equus. The presence of an attached protocone is a bit of a giveaway. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I agree. It's an equus M1 or M2. Just a cautionary note: An attached protocone is not always indicative of Equus, as in the attached images of Dinohippus and Calippus below. 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...
matgerke Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks for the wisdom! Any thoughts on how I can distinguish between a modern horse and a pleistocene horse? Or should I just assume it's modern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
