johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I found this little tooth yesterday on a river gravel bank. I haven't found one like this before so I'm wondering if it's been ground down to that size and that is perhaps a tooth from an older horse? I thought it looked different from other Equus teeth I've found at the chewing surface. The top left corner seems to have a little more vacant space than what I usually see. But this tooth is not like others I've found so perhaps it's unique to this tooth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
fossilus Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Your tooth is short and probably from a senile horse. This is a shot from a senile equine upper palate and you can see how the teeth change quite a bit with old age. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 @fossilus Thanks! That's a good reference image. I can definitely see the differences in the teeth and now I know should I see that again. Link to post Share on other sites
