New Members blodge2002 Posted August 19 New Members Share Posted August 19 Hello all, We have recently found this fossil on Ryde Beach (Isle of Wight, UK). We think it could be some Pleistocene horse teeth? The dimensions are 4cm height/5cm length/1cm width. Any information or guesses are welcome, thanks!

C2fossils Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I don't know it looks more like a bovine tooth IE Bison or Cow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Horse, I do admit that the entoflexid on Ops tooth looks like Bovid, 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...
Jaybot Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) I'm probably wrong, but I'll place my bet on Bison m3 molar. Here's one of @Harry Pristis's photos, mirrored and flipped to match OP's specimen: EDIT: I see this was found in the UK. I am unaware of what Bovids are found there, so may not be bison. Some sort of bovid though.

C2fossils Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) I agree @Jaybot, It does look like a Bison M3 to me too. Edited August 20 by C2fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
