Slowpoker Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I've been looking around the old interwebs today and found this for sale, does anyone know what it belongs to, or if it's real? It kind of looks like a Saber cat tooth to me, but any help will be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Definitely not a Saber cat tooth. Far from a mammal expert.. bear?. Edited January 24, 2016 by Troodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not saber cat. Definitely a mammalian carnivore; I am leaning towards feline. We need more pictures. It might even be modern, or a cast. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

abyssunder Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 For me looks more like a Lion canine (but we don't know the dimensions).

glu Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 It looks like a modern wolf canine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolman1c Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Depends on the price... if it is literally nothing they are asking for (like $10 or less) then it could be a good study piece... anymore then don't buy until we have more info and pictures on it.

Auspex Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Out of curiosity, what does the seller claim it to be? There is good money in the trade in 'icons of carnage', and so widespread misrepresentation and embellishment.

jpc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Definitely not a saber tooth of any kind. That doesn't look fossilized. If the seller is dealing with endangered species... don't do it... you are only supporting the carnage humans are creating... the sixth mass extinction.
