Small Santa Fe River finds for ID please

Recommended Posts

Attached are photos of 4 small items that I would appreciate some help with. They have all been screen sifted from the Santa Fe river. From left to right:

 

o Strange tooth with an irregular enamel crown and a "root" having axial grooves around it's full circumference. 50 mm long

 

o Calcaneum 32 mm long

 

o Calcaneum 41 mm long

 

o Unknown claw (or something) damaged at "root" so no facets present. 44 mm long

 

I know it's a stretch, but I appreciate the time.

John, 

Glad to see you are out hunting.  The Santa Fe is a long haul from Sanibel.. The Peace is hard enough.

Saw this on the net...  just for comparison purposes on size... rabbit,  so you need something a little bit bigger... like raccoon  might be about 30 mm..:popcorn:RabbitCalcaneumEtsy.jpg.0a492918ec1b9a633474587a25bfae37.jpg

Thanks Jack @Shellseeker. Lots of small mammals out there. I thought you might have some insight about the tooth. I figured some weird dolphin/whale thing.

In December. 2017  I found a small canine with unusual longitudinal groves and an enamel tip. PeccaryTusk1.thumb.jpg.33c04666d7c4f8b361bdf780b13393ea.jpgPeccaryTusk4.thumb.jpg.c4f33d8aa9416a15cfc7c5c2d60214fb.jpg

 

I thought it was a juvenile Peccary tusk...  Nate had this one on his website
