jikohr Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Hi everyone! I saw these for sale listed as "Sabretooth cat upper molars from the gansu province of china", which is really cool since I've always wanted sabre cat material but I have no experience with these fossils (since they are unreasonably difficult to find/ get a hold of) so I'm hoping the forum can give a second opinion on the ID and point out any potential funny business (besides the obvious repaired break on one, which I'm okay with). Size isn't listed, but I have contacted the seller asking about that and am awaiting a response. Any insight is appreciated as always! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, what are the characteristics that make them sabre cat? Do the serrations have anything to do with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I compared them with the molars of two Skulls we have, fits. And the size, there is not much in this biota with molars in this size... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
