Fossildude19 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Will need a straight on view of the chewing surface for ID. Several other angles would be helpful.

fossilized6s Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Looks like a Mammoth tooth frag. This may help if it is a Mammoth http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=8&ved=0CDoQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.researchgate.net%2Fpublication%2F50367270_New_materials_of_the_steppe_mammoth_Mammuthus_trogontherii_with_discussion_on_the_origin_and_evolutionary_patterns_of_mammoths%2Ffile%2F60b7d51f6e1fcdf88d.pdf&rct=j&q=mammuthus%20trogontherii%20China&ei=nBuOU8HOGMyXqAaimYDYAQ&usg=AFQjCNHHVrNasrq43TnPBvaxcR5Dozyo0w&sig2=tB58TfdyzIwvuIRpgqevZg&bvm=bv.68191837,d.b2k Edited June 3, 2014 by fossilized6s ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I would say definitely mammoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocuta67 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thank you for your idea. It must be difficult I guess to find a subspecies that the tooth belonged to? I would put more pictures as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 With such a small fragment it will be hard. But you can get an idea of a few that were in China. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossilguys Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It looks like mastodon to me. It's still tough to ID, but to me it looks like the enamel points up like a mastodon tooth. Can you post more pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Some member of the Elephantidae; I do not know which might have lived there then.

Harry Pristis Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 This is an old phylogeny (1986), and much has been learned about Chinese fossils since then. But, I'll post it here in the hope that it still provides an overview. 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...
