Artiodactyls (Even-toed Ungulates)
Artiodactyls, also known as even-toed ungulates, are a group of mammals with an evolutionary history starting in the early Eocene (55.4 mya). They are characterized by an even number of toes on each foot, a feature that distinguishes them from other mammals. This group has diversified over time, giving rise to a wide range of animals, including deer, antelopes, camels, bison, peccaries and more. These animals have adapted to various environments and play vital roles in ecosystems as herbivores, influencing plant communities and serving as prey for carnivores.

Thanks! These are all open to the public, but collecting is a different story.
In China, it is prohibited to collect any vertebrate fossils. But it's like underage drinking over here - law enforcement doesn't care unless they're asked to by their superiors for some odd reason.
Usually, once a cave's deposit is described extensively, the security level rises and the cave becomes nearly impossible to dig.

Nice tooth. One of my favorite tooth positions, often misidentified as lowers by collectors who don't know the dentition.
