Equus teeth

[uglyokie]

This is unusual for the areas I search. Usually Equus and other teeth being float fossils are one at a time singular finds.  This trip I found a piece of matrix with two Equus teeth embedded in it with an outline of a missing third tooth in the clump.  One upper and one lower tooth are embedded in the matrix very close to each other....unusual.  The matrix itself is a puzzle....the color and texture are unusual for the area....stood out like a sore thumb.  Matrix reminds me of the type you'd find cemented around bottles and garbage in a century old landfill.   I always enjoy finding horse teeth....and this time its the unusual matrix as well as the number of teeth together that makes the find all that more enjoyable.

Hello, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco.

Welcome to the forum from sunny Florida! It's an unusual and interesting find! The sediment looks like a mix of sandstone and claystone and might be what entombed the teeth and fossilized them.
