cheney416 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Proboscidea tooth from indonesia. I can sure this is proboscidea tooth (even no enamel) but i can't sure what species's tooth. I guess this is Gomphotherium tooth. Is it right? thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXV24 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 This definitely doesn't look like a proboscidean tooth, instead it appears to be the distal portion of a tibia from a large mammal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Your fossil doesn't present a root and is not covered with the usually present enamel on a tooth.

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I agree, the end of a tibia from something big! Still a decent fossil, though. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yes, It looks like the distal end of a large tibia.
