New Members Gandyjai Posted July 15, 2017 New Members Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi, I'm new here and have 2 teeth that I can not identify. Closest thing I can guess to is maybe a giant beaver? However, the ends of the teeth don't look very "chisel-like" to go through wood. 'Hoping that some one here may know what they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote That would have been one heck of a big beaver!!! Well, I figured we had Giant sloths and armadillos down here, why not a giant beaver? Happy Hunting!

There was a giant beaver, but it was not quite as big as a mammoth. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
