Miocene_Mason Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I LOVE threshers I have never had the pleasure of seeing a posterior A. Grandis (though some would call it Trigonotodus grandis). Thanks for sharing! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I , like many others, love threshers and mostly have to be satisfied with the smaller variety. Thanks for sharing a beautiful tooth...
