Bison/Bos tooth?


Darko

Recommended Posts

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.

If u can send me in PM Just to compare it would be awesome! :)

The sad thing is that this is probably Just mineralized cause it smells like burned hair.So who knows how much this old is

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.

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.

Based on nothing more than overall size, I think it's a cow m3.

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.
