Michael1 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Found these two in south carolina near the Summerville and Charleston area, im fairly certain one is a tusk but if anyone could give more details on which type on elephant it could’ve been since im not familiar with the area. The second one is a horse tooth (I think) but I am a primarily florida hunter so I would like to know if its a three toed horse or another species since it looks different then the ones ive found down here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I don't know about the first item, but I think there are only Equus in Summerville. Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Cole Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 It appears to be an Equus tooth, not pre-Equus. I'm not familiar with South Carolina fossils, but could this be a walrus tusk or whale tooth? https://www.scmuseum.org/learn/deeper-dive-series/fossil-facts-ancient-walrus-tusk-found-south-carolina @Boesse I'm not seeing the Schreger lines I would expect to see in mammoth, mastodon, or gomphothere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The equus tooth is a newly erupted upper. It has just high point wear. 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
