caldigger Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Where is it from? That might narrow down the type of creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil Claw Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Google cave bear canine fossil. Looks like a lot of the cave bear teeth I have seen for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildav Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Google cave bear canine fossil. Looks like a lot of the cave bear teeth I have seen for sale. Thanks for the information . It does resemble the Romanian fossil cave bear canine . But is the size too small to be a bear ? Maybe baby perhaps ... The seller told me it might be extinct wolf canine , Found at Liaoning , Liaoyang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Claw Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I don't know. I suggested bear canine as the only thing I have seen that looks close to your pictures. Have you tried hooking for pictures of wolf canines from china? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 For comparison, here is an authentic Romanian cave bear canine (Ursus spelaeus) from my collection, not very well preserved because of the cave conditions, ~87mm at widest points.
