danielp Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I was going through some of the teeth that I found at poc awhile back and came across this very small one in the mix. It is completely round and it doesn't have a flat surface. It has a slight curve to it. Any ideas on what it is? :huh?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Are 'cuda teeth round in X-section? I thought they were laterally compressed.

Frank Menser Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Are 'cuda teeth round in X-section? I thought they were laterally compressed. He said round, but if you enlarge the middle picture you can see that tooth is definitely lateraly compressed. Be true to the reality you create.
