FLfossils Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I found this tooth at Peace River today and I think it's a canine tooth from a Dire Wolf, but I wanted a second opinion. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Can't say I've ever seen a Dire Wolf canine but I have seen things similar to this identified as coming from bears. Hoping @Harry Pristis might have something to say about this. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLfossils Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the reply Digit! I was thinking maybe bear too but the root shape looks a little more elongated from the examples I could find. I'm not really sure what it is now.

Shellseeker Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 What is the length of your canine? Mine is clearly bear, due to the height of the root... You might provide a photo from the side...

RCFL Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Looks like one to me. 2.5" is the right length for it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
