Wessock Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Found a tooth at Ramanessin that I can't ID, and a partial vert. Guessing the tooth is mammal of some sort but can't seem to find a match online or from locals more familiar with the rarer teeth from Ramanessin. Definitely not modern. Any guesses? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessock Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 Adjusted the white balance to see the tooth from the top better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erose Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 There is a lot of Pleistocene material that shows up in those streams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm guessing that's what it's from, but I'm not overly familiar with the rarer Pleistocene stuff from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Though Pleistocene material is found in the brooks from time to time, it is generally rare while recent mammal material is way more common. Often, due to rapid mineralization, it's very difficult to tell if what you have is actually a fossil or a mammal tooth or bone a few hundred years old. If it is something that is now extinct such as a piece of mammoth tooth, then it's easy to tell, but that's a very rare case. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossillarry Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The tooth is a left lower p2 or p3 of a deer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessock Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 Thanks. After comparing it to other Pleistocene deer teeth, looks like it probably is a left lower p2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
