Alexamster Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hello, A few years ago me and my daughter found this tooth on the beach in the Netherlands. Since then we started to go regularly to several beaches to find washed off treasures. I though one of them was a horse tooth from the pleistocene...now i am not sure..it's too compact and short..i would love to have your expertise on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yup. Definitely a horse upper molar. The uppers are more square on the chewing (occlusal) surface while the lowers are more narrow and rectangular as the lower jaw is not thick enough to hold teeth as wide as the uppers. Very cool find. Welcome to the forum. Cheers. -Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I agree, an equus horse, left M1 or M2. This horse apparently lived a fairly long life. 1 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...
