rejd Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Can you post a picture of the other side. Also, where it was found and any geological information such as the formation it was found in. A fossil hunter needs sharp eyes and a keen search image, a mental template that subconsciously evaluates everything he sees in his search for telltale clues. -Richard E.

RichW9090 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Also really need to see the top edge, where the holes for the roots of the teeth are. Thanks The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW9090 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'm thinking it might be rhino - I'll look a bit more when I have access to my library. The marked fossa posterior to the opening for the mental nerve on the medial surface seems right for rhino. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".

jpevahouse Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Doen't appear to be ground sloth, mastodon or mammoth which doesn't leave a lot of other possiblities Maybe wooly rhino. Edited September 27, 2013 by jpevahouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'm going to endorse the rhino. It matches pretty closely the illustrations of the woolly rhino available to me. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sava85-23 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Today I was on the gravel, and only part of the mammoth hits as may be worthy of you in the country such a piece of jaw rhinoceros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
