jax Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Looks like 5 sharks teeth, and something else. Can you take a close up of the top right tooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traviscounty Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It almost looks pathological? Oh wait, that might just be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootgirl Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 any ideas Please take a pict of that tooth thats up in the right hand corner. I really want to see it, you might just have something cool there. Also put something in for scale if you can. Thanks!!

danielp Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 This looks like it is also just a corner piece so i figure it was prob 3 to 4 times this size whole. looks like it was made to eat meat and plants to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 ...maybe part of an unerupted molar..? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielp Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 As far as I can tell it's not from any livestock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoRon Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 My first thought was some type of pig, but it could possibly be from a tiny mastodon or gompothere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmorefossil Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 My first thought was some type of pig, but it could possibly be from a tiny mastodon or gompothere. the enamel sure does look a bit like gomph. its really small but you could be right Ron.

danielp Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Gomphotherium calvertensis ? http://www.calvertmarinemuseum.com/cmmfc/n...ter_2004-07.pdf There is a drawing of a tooth from a small one on this page. it is a pdf file. looks somewhat similar to what this one prob would if it was whole.

Auspex Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I think Gomp will be a hard sell...

barefootgirl Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I actually came close cool! I thought maybe Pecarry for some reason when I saw it. I figured it could also just be plain pig. They had some teeth that looked like this at the fossil museum we went to.

Harry Pristis Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I don't think this fragment is from a suid -- the enamel seems to be too complicated for that. I don't know where Poc is . . . Texas, but is it on the coastal plain? 'JohnJ' is correct, I think. The fragment is part of an unerupted molariform tooth. If I had collected this tooth fragment in Florida, I would be trying to decide between manatee and gomphothere. Maybe you can narrow it down using more images. 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...

I think it is a piece of a gomphothere tooth. They can be that small. Earlier this year, I saw two baby mammoth teeth that were 2-3 inches high with the roots (a photo of one was also shown in a recent issue of National Geographic).

fowells Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 POC flooded yesterday. My first visit, it was out of it's banks. If no more rain, how long will it take to get down to hunting level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traviscounty Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 POC flooded yesterday. My first visit, it was out of it's banks. If no more rain, how long will it take to get down to hunting level? It drains pretty quick. This weekend you will probably be fine. Should be some nice stuff if it got a good wash. Hmmm..maybe I should drive up there?

lawooten Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I would put a bet on Gomphotherium and the Germ Tooth at that which is in the very back of the mouth. The best days are spent collecting fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
