MSirmon Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Not the best pictures but don’t have the pieces in hand yet. These were purchased from a man who bought them from a southern Illinois estate sale. The son of the original collector said they are as collected and the parent said the teeth were mammoth. Not sure about that as some look possibly equine or maybe camel? Are these poor quality photos enough to point in any particular direction? Definitely no idea on the plant trace or bone. Any help in ID or direction would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laditz Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The bone on the first photo is a 1st phalange (toe bone), might be Equus (horse) but you need to compare some more sides of the bone. The teeth don't look alot like mammoth to me, although the two bottom pieces on your 2nd photo kinda resemble mammoth fragments. But if those are the same teeth (other side) on the last pic, don't think they are sadly. The bigger, higher crowned teeth i would compare to Bovids (cow). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
