ET-REX Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I found this one in a quarry embedded in sand stone in Southeast, SD. I think it's from a buffalo but not entirely sure. Any guesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It's a pretty big and nice horse lower cheek tooth, not buffalo.

ET-REX Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 The tooth is about 4 inches long, 1.5 inches wide found partially exposed in a large hunk of sand stone. I believe the quarry was used for gravel, sand, and pea rock possibly more. I go there to fish but I always find various fossils there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
