Brett Breakin' Rocks Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi There, I've been holding onto this for a year or so waiting to get it ID'd .. always suspected it was a tapir tooth partial but that was before I stumbled upon a few Dire Wolf carnassials with similar breaks. Is this possibly half of a Dire Wolf Carnassial tooth ? @Harry Pristis This was found in dredge material in Port Royal, SC. Pliocene to Pleistocene or so ... Thanks, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Upper carnassial (P4) from a canid . . . dire wolf would be a reasonable guess. 5 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...
