Kiros Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hi guys! Recently I got in a trade this nimravid mandible from the white river formation in Shannon County. Now I want to ask your help to determine the genus, if possible. Being incomplete and missing all the teeth it's quite difficult but it has a quite elongate mandible flange and by the number of the alveoli it had three teeth. I think it can be Hoplophoneus, what do you think about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I found a similar one in Wyoming this summer. Apparently the depth of their chin can determine genus. Yours seems relatively deep, which may indicate Hoplophoneus, while my own may be Dinictis.

Thanks! I was definitely happy to find it, though I wish it's teeth were still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a common occurrence, also mine need a good dentist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
