Darko Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Found this tooth while ago.Still not sure to which animal this belongs to.I know that it could be one od these two : Bison or Cow.I Found it last year in a Stream in the middle of the forest when i was looking for Oysters (Gryphea gingensis) in Paraćin,Serbia.People do not live near that forest but maybe they lived in some past.

Harry Pristis Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Interesting. If it smells when scorched, try cleaning off the scum/algae before you apply the flame. A wire brush in a rotary tool will make the tooth shine. The tooth is an m3 (not M3 which would be an upper tooth) from a young adult bovid. I can't with any confidence identify it closer than that.

Darko Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 I found also this tooth, which i think it's also m3 tooth... But i found it on a rocky road 1km away from that forest...I want really to see if the first one is a bison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Based on nothing more than overall size, I think it's a cow m3. 3 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It will be hard to say with certainty if your teeth in question belong to Bos primigenius or Bos taurus, but I think they may be more close to Bos than to Bison.
