Here is an old fang of South China tiger, and this one is perhaps one of the densest big cat fangs that I've ever seen.

请问大家,这是什么品种?


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - GrizzlyClaws - 05-06-2024

It kinda looks like a tiger upper fang with unusual thin root.


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - clgd11 - 05-06-2024

It is said to be the South China Tiger.是固体吗?


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - GrizzlyClaws - 05-07-2024

Probably a South China tiger specimen with atypical lion-like canine root.

And most older specimens usually got very small cavity inside of the fang, almost solid, not hollow.


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - clgd11 - 05-07-2024

狮子的牙冠凸起,牙齿具有明显的老虎特征,但牙根确实比较细长。


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - clgd11 - 05-07-2024

老牙会因为失水而变浅吗?


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - GrizzlyClaws - 05-08-2024

I think the color of the fang varied from age.


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - clgd11 - 05-08-2024

Sorry, I mean, will the weight of the teeth become lighter due to water loss?


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - GrizzlyClaws - 05-09-2024

Maybe, but I don't think the weight loss gonna be significant.


RE: Skulls, Skeletons, Canines & Claws - GrizzlyClaws - 06-15-2024

13.3 cm lion and 6.8 cm leopard

@tigerluver @peter 

A big cat canine tooth from Manchuria, and it does look comparable to a large male Amur tiger, but the canine root is a bit thinner compared to tiger's canine root.

Maybe a Cave lion/Panthera spelaea?

144 mm long and weighed 150.7 grams

GRIZZLY

Some years ago, in the tiger extinction thread, a study about bones found in a number of caves in the Russian Far East was discussed quite extensively. It seems cave lions roamed in that part of the world about 40,000-50,000 years ago. Although smaller than their relatives elsewhere, they were still larger than the tigers that succeeded them. In the study, Baryshnikov compared both big cats. His remarks about the teeth of both are interesting.
