Mar 18, 2012 · The photos show both the fossil and a 100-year old longhorn steer molar (from my grandfather's pasture in Savanna, Illinois) for comparison. Note the cusps are almost identical, just different sizes. The local expert on the Santa Margarita formation could not identify it, and it shouldn't be in a marine environment from what I can tell, but ...

Sep 24, 2015 · Welcome to the forum! That is certainly either cow or bison. I do see a stylid which may indicate bison. I’ve read other info that describes both bos and bison having stylids but bison’s being more robust. Try showing pics of the tooth from different angles, including the occlusal, or chewing surface.

Apr 17, 2024 · I found this, its very fragile and unfortunately 10 year old me didn't take care of it and its be broken further than it was from my poor excavation. From googling it, it looks identical to a Upper Left 1st Molar from Bison Antiquus i saw in an article from the western science center.

Jul 10, 2022 · Earlier this evening while looking for Agates in a creek in southeastern St. Louis county MN, U.S., I found this VERY large tooth. It is fossilized, and appears to be a molar. Looking at the original range of the Bison, this area is the EAST central range. I know Agates, but not fossil teeth. I'm hoping for a more accurate evaluation of Bison ...

Jul 28, 2023 · We found a large molar in our flower bed after our landscaper dropped off some river rock. It looks very similar to a Bison molar from our @Harry Pristis sampler. The color makes me think it is recent but it feels almost as heavy as Harrys remineralized tooth. Edited July 28, 2023 by JBkansas

Mar 28, 2021 · Harry, I do not want to misinterpret. It seems that you are saying that there is no way to differentiate between B. antiquus and B. latifrons, such that I could have a string of M1 to M3 in a segment of jaw and could not tell which of these 2 Bison provided the fossil because the mean measurements of all 3 teeth would be sized within millimeters of each other according to the above table, and ...

Feb 15, 2023 · From the Potomac River in the Northern Neck area. This is my first complete terrestrial mammal tooth, so I'm curious! It is around 2.5 cm long.

Apr 25, 2023 · I was on a hike with my boyfriend yesterday along a lake in Central Alberta, Canada when we came across this bone in the river. I know some of the discourse of using the stylid as an identification tool to differentiate between cows and bison but I can’t seem to figure this one out! Please let me...

Dec 13, 2013 · I thought Bison Molar, but, it doesn't seem to look like the other Bison molars in the gallery. .... and yes, I cleaned and polished part of this one too.... it's my twisted Lapidary part that does it to me every time....
