I have a couple. About half of these I actually got in trades from GatorBoy and Perico, so it is kinda a joint collection.


Here are three teeth. The top is deer, the middle is beaver, and the bottom is tapir.


Here is a close-up of the tapir crown.


Here is a beaver tooth from Big Brook, New Jersey.


Here are a pair of bison teeth.


Here are a pair of horse teeth. The right one is pre-erupted


A chunk of Mastodon enamel.

Once again, Thanks Perico and GatorBoy!

Interesting, Ninjafossils . . . allow me to add some information. You have half a tapir upper crown. Of the pair of "bison teeth," the nearer tooth is a deciduous Equus horse tooth. Of the pair of horse teeth, the one on the left is a nice upper cheek tooth, but I cannot tell what the right object may be. Here are some images which may help you catalog your collection:

Various Horse teeth


Camel or deer

Possible Mammoth portion

Ground sloth I believe

Well, that went well. Let's get back to the teeth. Here's a very stout sloth tooth that's one of my favs:

Well, nice glyptothere tooth. I don't think I have one in my collection. (What happened to your other attachments? Too many for the software to bear?)

 

[Perico]

Great post! Keep posting Harry. I find this post incredibly interesting and informative. I know you must have a lot in your collection. Hope everyone else shares as well.

 

[Perico]

Are they showing up now? They are on my end. Yes Harry, when I was trying to verify the tooth, I could not find a good photo even on Google. Don't think there are many loose teeth out there. I had to look at views of jaws and skulls.

Whoa! I see the images now. Nice glyptothere tooth!

With camel vs. deer, size is important. There is no scale in your image.

That mammoth portion is strange indeed. I'm a bit skeptical (see below).

The ground sloth is doubtful.

[Perico]

I was never positive on the last two and threw them in there for your input. Thank you.

Here is that pre erupt horse tooth coming out Ninja..the chewing surface has not formed yet on that one

 

[Perico]

Nice Gator! What kind of teeth are the 2nd and 3rd pictures?

 

[GatorBoy]

Sloth from the beach

 

[Perico]

Nice finds!

 

[GatorBoy]

Thank you ..I'll add some more after hopefully some other people chip in

 

[Harry Pristis]

These armadillo teeth don't survive well because they have no enamel -- it's all dentin. This one has more color than most:

[GatorBoy]

Well I guess Mastodon tusk would really be considered an elongated incisor here is a nice tip section.
Great visible growth rings on this one

I found this tooth quite a while back while out treking and was hoping that it fit into your thread Harry. I have not been able to place it, but maybe one of you may help. (If it doesn't belong here let me know.) It is an inch wide, by an inch high.






The bottom/inside has a bluish tint to it.
