Was told this could be shark tooth. Concave on one side convex on the other. Lines that kinda look like veins on the side pictured. South central South Dakota.

Not sure what these teeth are from. Found them washed out of a river south central South Dakota.

@smoran might be able to help with I.D.!
-
Sure can! It’s a bovid (meaning cow or bison). I’m leaning towards cow but it’s a little hard to tell.
-
I guessed they were one of the two. They are a little bigger than teeth from a cow that died a couple years ago. Any way to tell which they are from pictures? Thanks for looking
-
Unfortunately, they are notoriously difficult to tell apart. One feature that is often used is that bison have a strong “stylid” (just a column of enamel between the two lophs) whereas in cows that is usually absent or reduced. The tooth below the tape measure and between the 9’ and 10’ increments shows me the view I need to see, but I don’t see a stylid there, so that’s why I’m leaning towards a cow. You can google “cow vs bison tooth stylid” to check out what that feature would look like. Hope that helps!

Ok thanks again

#ThrowbackThursday to the Nebraska Badlands. Look at that stratigraphy! #collectionsite

@michael-ziegler I think that tiny dot on top of the peak is you!
-
Sadie,
Is that where you found all the fossils in the large ant hill? -
@david-coxiii at this location I think I found a whole lot of nothing! The anthill fossils were fun to find, though!
-
Aloha! I’m out here in Hawaii so I’m trying to learn about badlands. Are these Eocene White River Formation? And you’re saying you didn’t find anything at all?
-
Hi @john-patterson! It was the Brule formation (33ish Ma). We found plenty of fossils at nearby sites, but at this particular location the fossils were few and far between!

@smoran @vperez any ideas on this one?
Unfortunately I can’t tell from this photo. A couple more photos from different angles may help
