expatspain Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Found this on a beachside path of sand and scrub grass. Assuming it is mammalian but type I have no idea. It measures 3cmx2cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meganeura Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Can we get a pic of the chewing surface? It's looking pretty horse-like to me currently but the chewing surface will give much more clues. 1 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry, do you have a compendium anywhere of the different chewing surfaces of horse teeth? Just as a way to learn species and location in the mouth. I’ve got a few complete 3-toed or pre-Equus teeth that I want to learn to place/identify. 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 There are a number of species illustrated in Hulbert's book. I recommend it. 1 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
