New Members Navybloke Posted May 27, 2022 New Members Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hi all, this is my first post on here, but defnitely won't be the last. I'm newly returned to fossil hunting after a multi-decade absence, and I'm very glad to have found this forum! The teeth in the images came from a Pleistocene deposit overlying the London Clay of Essex. I'm tentatively going with deer for the small ungulate tooth, but no clue with the other rooted molar. You might be able to see that a third root has broken off. I've done plenty of searches along the lines of 'ice age mammal tooth ID guide', but could do with some help on the molar - and pointing towards any online/published ID guide! Thanks all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Second one looks like a pig tooth. Not sure on the first, maybe sheep? Could be deer. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
