Big tooth posted again

[Blind.In.Texas]

Big tooth. 2" x 2" x 1/2". The last two pics are from an earlier post. Maybe the rulers will give a bit of perspective as to it's actual size. It is a big tooth. Maybe a horse molar?

Horse.Or other large ruminant. My guess is horse.

I have no idea what they are...

Looks just like a whitetail deer tooth(molar), but too big...a big deer.

It looks like one that I found on our farm a couple of years ago. Paleontologist at Cincinnati Museum of Natural History identified mine as the last molar in lower jaw of bison. Yours appears to be worn down more than mine, probably from an older animal. Question is, modern bison (bison bison) or bison antiquus. Antiquus became extinct around 10,000 years ago.

I found some too! The biggest one yesterday and the smaller one last week. I'm thinking these belonged to a deer.

I want to think the ones posted above are equine.

Found one simmilar,took it to the museum of nat.history in N.Y.C and was told it was horse or possibly bison.

The grinding surfaces are VERY similar in design, angle and shape between our tooth finds. So far your's is the closest grinding surface I have seen yet. I notice that your's still has color the way mine does. From all that I have seen, after 10,000 - 20,000 years or so, most tooth finds become that famous two tone color. Black and tan, black and gray and so on. If that is the case, then, I am guessing mine is less than 10,000 years. What do I know? I am a comm tech. I have not had a paleo look at it, because, the M of NS here apparently does not staff REGULAR paleos. From what I have read there are visiting and guest paleos. I normally don't have the time when they do. Maybe I will get around to finding a college student at U of H or something. Thanks a million.

This came from the a river here in southeast Texas. Don't know if that would help with anything.

All I can offer is large herbavore , Elk, bison, moose? Monty.....even a big cow?

Well, as a student of biology, and an amateur paleo, I can tell you that most likely it is modern, and probably a horse. UT Austin has some great paleo guys, but I think what you really want is a large animal vet or a mammalian biology guy.,

big teeth!

I say horse too, even before reading what other have wrote. \

WOW

Now that is a tooth indeed!

I am sooooo glad you posted this entry Will.Root.For.Patriots.Against.Colts for I had found what I thought was just an interesting piece on the beach shore a bit back but thought not too hard on it till reading over your post

I figured it was possibly a piece of bone.
My Sister thought it was the foot bone of a duck.
My Brother claims it could possibly be a Beaver tooth.
Again myself, didn't matter just thought it was cool
Size is more or less 1 & a half inches

hey, bogey. yours looks like a cow tooth to me. been a few years since i have seen one. i used to age cows at a sale barn. checking the wear on the teeth is an idicator of its age, since, most cows eat at the same most of their lives. you reach into that snotty nose with the thumb and first two fingers and pull down on the lower lip with the other hand. the amount of dentin that is visible is the age indicator. i could get them within 4 months or so of their actual age. i could be wrong about your tooth though. its been 10 years since i looked into a cows mouth. GL at the beach!
