hemipristis Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Found this partial tooth a few years ago in some Holo-Pleistocene marine sediments on Oahu, Hawaii. There is also the chance that it is more recent, as there had been some dredging in the area, though I haven't seen any evidence at this location. Approximately half of this tooth is missing. What remains is half of the crown and one root lobe. It is 17 mm in maximum dimension. My guess is carnassial. Seal? Canid? Appreciate any and all input.

Harry Pristis Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Looks canid to me. My best illustration is coyote, but that's not likely to be your canid. 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...
Boesse Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Domestic dog is going to be the only real option here. It's not from a seal. Here's what monk seal teeth look like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
