Maxsg Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I finally got to do some hunting in the Peace River area of bone valley and just want some help with identifying these teeth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone Daddy Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Gorgeous coloration on those. Given how high and fast the river is now, I am assuming these are dry land finds? I'd be happy with that haul. Nice score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxsg Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Yea all from dry land. I checked the river and I would not even dare go in. It was moving so fast. I like not drowning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've downloaded the photos and am importing them into adobe acrobat so I can ID these for you. I'll get back with the IDs tomorrow.

hemipristis Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Lastly this little guy, who wins the "what's not like the others" contest. It looks to be a Brachycarcharias aff lerichei, an Eocene tooth. The other teeth are Miocene-Pliocene (except the Pleistocene horse).

I thought this little tooth was out of place with the double cusps and all however I am very curious about the little tooth in this picture below. Btw thank you so much for all this infomation.

Shellseeker Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I think that your unknown tooth from Bone Valley is a Cuspidata Taurus "L3". It seems to fit and is not Eocene. See the table in this TFF Thread... By the way ...
