Veu Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 My grandpa found this and other fossiles on a work site in the 60s I believe. In the south west of France. What do you think it is? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXV24 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Looks like the molar of a proboscidean, possibly mammoth, but I don't know enough about proboscidean teeth to be able to ID it further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It is probably a Mammuthus primigenius (Woolly mammoth) partial molar. link " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
