PODIGGER Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I am having a tough time coming up with what these two teeth are. When I first pulled them out of the river I thought horse. Then looking closer I began to question that assumption because of the hollowness seen in both. Looking on line and through my Neophyte's Guide I then found a similar looking Sirenia molar. But then I also found a Neohipparium Eurystyle unerupted lower molar that looked like a possibility. Any help clarifying the ID on these would be appreciated.

digit Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Look like lower horse teeth to me as well. From the last image they appear to be unerupted teeth that have not seen any (or significant) wear on the occlusal surfaces. Possibly these teeth were still forming and that may contribute to some of the hollowness. I've certainly found some horse molars and emptied more sand than I thought possible from one of the hollow spaces in the root. Cheers. -Ken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 @Harry Pristis can speak much more authoritatively than my more limited experience with horse teeth from Florida but they are within my concept of the specimens I've found.

Harry Pristis Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The one on the left appears to me to be a deciduous horse tooth without cementum, while the second appears to be a newly-erupted deciduous tooth still covered with cementum. 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...
