Fun forum thread, @llundgren!  I have insider knowledge about the tooth you posted, so I won’t answer because it feels like cheating 😉


@julie-niederkorn
– Very nice jack-o-fossil (lol)!  What kind of adhesive did you use to attach the teeth?

Below is my “spooky” fossil.  The image is unfortunately fuzzy and lacking anything for scale (sorry!) because I was taking the picture through display glass at the Big Bone Lick State Park welcome center/museum.  @cferrara, @lcone, @willis-dc, and others who went to the park prior to the Cincinnati Mini Conference this past June might recognize it!

Hints:

(1) Ice Age megafauna.

(2) The prominent hole would have been painful for the large herbivore to receive.

(3) The carnivore who inflicted the bite hole was a member of the family Ursidae.
