facehugger Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Cool find! The majority of people that will assist with ID will request to know the exact location of the find and/or geologic formation. Members may also request that you enhance the brightness on your pics for accurate analysis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Were there crocodilians in the region?

zarko Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 hello thanks for the answers, i am not sure that it can be gator croc because last gator in Serbia was found in Miocene 16 million years a go and this cave (for now) is know by Pleistocene bear lion and other big fauna, also in Serbia it is unknown to find gator croc remains in caves or anywhere else except that one place - mine for limstone- where was Miocene crocodylus moraviensis.

Bronzviking Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 @zarko Take a look through @Harry Pristis Teeth & Jaws library. It's a great reference library and it might help you with your ID. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarko Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 with help of my friend it is identified as U spelaeus tooth. by those grooves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Maybe it's U. spelaeus tooth crown, as your friend said. I have only one complete but weathered canine of U. spelaeus from a Romanian cave, for comparison. 1 " 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.
