Bill Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 No, I recently got them in a trade. The tooth in pic's 3,4 and 5 was said to possibly be Rhino' but I don't think so. KOF, Bill.

tracer Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 the first pictures all look to be horse. in the second set, the left picture looks horsey, but the two in the middle look bisoney, and the one on the right looks like i don't know, probably horsey - can't see too well.

Bill Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 So, would the first two horse teeth be upper cheek teeth? What position would the third horse tooth be?What positions would the bison teeth be? I'm thinking bison tooth 1 and 3 are upper molars and 2 is a lower molar. KOF, Bill.

tracer Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 i would think all the teeth would have been prone position, at least when they were found... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 So, would the first two horse teeth be upper cheek teeth? What position would the third horse tooth be?What positions would the bison teeth be? I'm thinking bison tooth 1 and 3 are upper molars and 2 is a lower molar. In the group image of four teeth, I think the ID is: Equus sp. lower third molar (m3) auroch (Bos primigenius) lower (smallish to be Bison) auroch m3 goat upper(?) molar (too small to be even Bos) 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...
Guest bmorefossil Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 goat really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 goat really? I can't see the details of the tooth, 'bmore', but size alone eliminates Bos. Compare for size that tooth with the first one, the Equus tooth, to understand how small that tooth is. Could be some goat-size artiodactyl like a sheep, I suppose. 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...

Bill Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Cheers Harry, Bos primigenius does make more sense than Bison. Here are some more images of the Goat/Sheep tooth. KOF, Bill.

Harry Pristis Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Cheers Harry,Bos primigenius does make more sense than Bison. Here are some more images of the Goat/Sheep tooth. Thanks for the images. I don't recognize this tooth as anything beyond "goat-like." Someone at the Natural History Museum could help you, I'm sure. I would characterize your tooth as "a selenohypsodont cheek tooth." 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...
