Can someone tell me what animal it is from

Yea out of the couple hundred or so teeth I picked up I don't have that exact one. But here is a site that does.Also don't think it was a wild boar.Tooth #5 in this site on the top row your see how to use the pictures (you can zoom in on it)shows what I think it is!

The tooth is broken and hard to tell but I do not recall seeing the center hole (last pic) on any of my pig incisor tusks.

Yea give me a few and I know I've got some teeth that are worn like that!Not sure if I've got a incisor or not the tusk are considered canine.

I assumed the tusks were "incisors" because the top and bottom fit together like "scissors" LOL Shows how much I know about teeth lol.

I dont know the technical terms of pigs teeth, only what they look like.

I have removed many pigs teeth, and I dont think its pig. (Your pig skull is missing teeth. )

Bch, did you have a pig farm or work on one clipping baby pigs teeth. I'm just wondering, you say you removed many if so for what or are you a dentist for pigs

Hello Broken Knee. I hope I was not being rude (by disagreeing) because I do not mean to be. Sometimes laughing icons are misunderstood and I was NOT laughing at you, only the missing teeth.

Being that I am a hunter, I have killed many wild pigs, about 50 or so in my lifetime. I also find many skulls in the Everglades. I sometimes save the skulls or remove the tusks. I also work at a hunting check station in the Big Cypress National Preserve where my job duties include weighing, measuring and inspecting hogs that were harvested.. My experience tells me it is not a pig tooth.


I believe kugar also has experience with animal parts and he backs me up on this.


If I were to guess, I would say its not horse either. I dont know what it is. Im leaning toward something that lives in the ocean.

Hello Bigcypresshunter, No offense taken. I to was just being funny in my response. It quite possibly could be a damaged dolphin tooth. My guess was based on my experience working for a butcher/ taxidermist while growing up. I hope none was taken either.

Another good site for all types of teeth. http://www.tellmewhereonearth.com/ and a reason I save mine that I find as they sell $$ . Now if I can just get what they ask for there's when I do I'll be sitting good! I also save the ones I find cause of where they come from I know they are very old at least colonial times on my horse,pig,cow,and bison!As they are out in the middle of nowhere!And nothing like that has been there for as long.
Take Care All,

Here is a freaky shot I ran across!
The other is just a pig!
