These two mammal teeth were found in northern Florida, I dont know what formation they were found in, but they are probably from the Pleistocene. The first tooth is about 3/4 of an inch long, and about the same in width at the widest point. The second tooth is about 1/2 an inch long and about the same in width at its widest point. They appear to be herbivore but I could be wrong, I'm not good with mammal teeth yet. Thanks!

Hello! I am a Chemical engineer at a cement plant in North Florida, and spend part of my free time searching through the old overburden dump sites for vertebrate fossils. I was hoping to try to get some help with identifying some of my finds as combing through the internet and books for mammal skeletons is really only helping me narrow my finds down to a few families of vertebrates. I have no training in paleontology so please excuse my ignorance(s).

I recently found this in a creek in Gainesville, FL and would like to figure out what it is. My best guess would be a worn-down beaver incisor, but it could just be an oddly broken bone for all I know. The 'tip' looks like it had repeated wear in life, and the 'root' has two circular indentations. The cross section is 14mm at the 'root', and the indentations are roughly 4.5mm diameter each. Let me know if there's any more info that could help. Thanks so much!
