netosols Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Found this three on the savannah river near Tybee Island. A I think might be a capybara tooth? B I have no idea! C Maybe dolphin? It has a curvness where I think another tooth created some wear. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The apparent wear facet on "C" is intriguing! I think you are correct on "A".

mikeymig Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I think your right with the first one capybara (Hydrochoerus species). The 2nd tooth LOOKS like the L1pm to a deer (Odocoileus virginianus). I THINK the 3rd one is a terrestrial mammal like a raccoon or fox. Many times I've wondered how much there is to know. led zeppelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I second B being a deer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeargleSchmeargl Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 With C, I do think it is dolphin/porpoise. 1 Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is not like other dolphin teeth I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a feature that can contribute to the identification, if it is not an individual pathology. 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!
