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.

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.

Why do you say "European"? 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! :faint::headscratch:

Assumption based on the collector's location, which is a reasonable starting point.

Oh right. 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 :P 

 

@DatFossilBoy where did you see this?

I saw it on our favorite auction site. 

Too bad the bid ended...

Interesting! Thank you.

I didn’t know that lower saber tooth canines could be serrated.

I will know that next time something similar appears.

Thanks! :)
