Thanks all, for your help. The fossils were found in the southern California desert. Other fossils that have been found in this area are anywhere from 4 to 6 m.y.o. so, I’m guessing these teeth are from that time period too. The teeth were deposited on what was the “guts” of the Grand Canyon and the common thought is that they were deposited there, much later of course, in what used to be a northern extension of the Sea of Cortez which has long retreated to its present location. It has been examined by other paleontologists who have “thought” they may be teeth from a seal but no confirmation on that. Just a guess. Other fossils found in that area have been from fish, invertebrates, but land animals too. These were located not far from where fossilized walrus bones have been found. Thank you all for looking at this and hopefully we will be able to pinpoint from what animal it’s from. 🙂
