Ignore the following; this tooth is not a prenatal gomphothere molar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My rarest find to date!

   Prenatal Gomphotherium molar, which cannot be id'ed down to genus due to lack of prenatal specimens to compare with. Also, teeth morphology is different with prenatal specimens. This molar's roots had yet to be developed in the womb.

   Found in Glacial deposits of E Kansas.

UPDATE:  I no longer think this is a Gomphothere prenatal tooth, as I found another tooth identical to it :DOH:. 

Any ideas on the ID are welcome!
