caldigger Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Just recieved this from a Chinese seller ( might not be originally from there though!) Stated as Pleistocene. Not sure what I am looking at. I have tried comparing with many photos online and can't seem to come up with a good match. Might this be from an "off the normal grid" bovine such as Water Buffalo or oxen or just a very senile animal like bison? Heck, it may not even be bovid at all. There doesn't seem to be a pronounced stylid on the side. Any and all opinions are welcomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 That is a very pretty piece Doren- Harry should be able to confirm for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Yes, I think it is bovid -- that loop of enamel is the remnant of an isolated stylid in a worn tooth. Maybe a Bubalus sp. jaw, maybe some other Chinese bovid. 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...
