tracer Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Miles, if Auri says it's a camelid incisor, you can bet your alpaca sweater that it's a camelid incisor. of course, if you don't have an alpaca sweater, then i don't know what you should do...

Ok, I just thought if it was used to rip prehistoric flesh. That would be cool. Its a predator thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 yeah, and Miles, hopefully you've been reading up a bit on caring for your fossils, because there's quite a bit of moisture in the environment in which you're finding those things, so if you take them into your relatively dry house and just let them dry out, some of them might crack. i'd hate to see that llamel tooth crack in half...

Auspex Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Ok, I just thought if it was used to rip prehistoric flesh. That would be cool. Its a predator thing. Well, it was used to direct prehistoric spit! How cool is that? Camelids evolved in N. Am., spread around the world, and went extinct here.

MilesofTx Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Well, it was used to direct prehistoric spit! How cool is that?Camelids evolved in N. Am., spread around the world, and went extinct here. Check out the Wikipedia entry; it might add to your appreciation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelid Camelids are large animals with slender necks and long legs, and are strictly herbivorous. Camelids differ from true ruminants in a number of ways. Their dentition shows traces of vesitigial central incisors in the upper jaw, and the third incisors are developed into canine-like tusks. Camelids also have true canine teeth and tusk-like premolars which are separated from the molars by a gap. That is cool. Why would a herbivore need canine teeth?

tracer Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 to rip prehistoric rivals' flesh with. cool, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 camelids are bad news, man. how many other animals will kick yer butt and spit in your eye at the same time. one thing i've read that's especially cool is that you can tell how ##### they are by what they spit on you. if they hawked it up from way down in their stomach, then they're really mad...
