Horse tooth enamel from North Sulphur River, TX?

[bluefish1766]

Hi all

 

My son and I found these three different pieces of enamel/tooth fragments at the NSR. Are these fragments of tooth enamel from a horse?  I've looked through some images and think that's what they may be; however, I am new to mammalian fossils.  We want to see if anyone can provide some identification/information. Hopefully, the photos remain sequential and do not get jumbled up.

 

Thanks in advance!

Bret

The forum doesn't support HEIC files so it would be best to post them in a format such as JPG. I think your guess is correct though, it looks like a fragment of a horse tooth.

Thanks for letting me know about the incompatibility of HEIC files on the Forum, Thomas.  I've attached the photos as jpegs.

The long line and grooves running down the piece, along with the distinctive biting surface, appear consistent with a tooth fragment from a horse.

Thanks, Brandy and Thomas!
