New Members fpfossils Posted July 18, 2021 New Members Share Posted July 18, 2021 Found this tooth on a beach near Fort Pierce Florida. It is almost exactly one inch long across the crown and 3/8 inch wide. The width is very irregular as you can see. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It is a horse tooth Equus .sp, barely erupted out of the lower jaw. Here is one of mine, about the same size as yours. 1 inch x .375 inch, likely an m1 or m2 as these type of teeth are measured. 2 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I'm not sure about this specimen -- my impression is that it is a horse cheek tooth fragment.

Tetradium Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 2 hours ago, fpfossils said: Very helpful. Thanks. Did you find it after that hurricane or recently? Consider fossil vertebrates are very very rare on Atlantic side of Florida and I heard someone found horse tooth last year after the hurricane. I had only found a few small shark teeth fossils at Fort Pierce but harvested all the big fossil whelks and quahogs in the area lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
