DatFossilBoy Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hey guys. Saw this and I have absolutely no idea of what it could be. No location either... Two canines I believe? Serrated?! Please help... Thanks so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrewer Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 @Harry Pristis or @Boesse might know. I guess it’s not marine. Nice finds whatever. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 These are some kind of big cat canines, not from cetaceans. I don't know enough about European cats, but since they are serrated that should make things easy! I feel like they could be lower canines of some saber tooth as those are the ones which typically have serrated teeth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be anything else too, the location isn't known But the general preservation does remind me of the late Pleistocene cave fossils found throughout eastern Europe (Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, etc). I've never seen such canines before though, really cool stuff! 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

Boesse Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Assumption based on the collector's location, which is a reasonable starting point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see why you said that now. The way I read it was "saw this for sale", but that was just my mind making hasty assumptions @DatFossilBoy where did you see this?

I didn’t know that lower saber tooth canines could be serrated. I will know that next time something similar appears. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
