There superior half of the tooth is much too straight. In tiger, any crack in the enamel has a curved contour, followed the general curvature of the tooth. However in this tooth the crack is straight. Also, the tooth is laterally flattened and not as conical as that of cats. Where in Indochina is the tooth from? To me it very, very, very tentatively looks like a large crocodile tooth from the crocodile farms in countries like Thailand. I can't find a good reference photo but here's a fossil crocodile tooth with similar shape:

Overall, if the tooth is real, I don't think it's that of any cat. Easier and safer for sellers to grab a tooth from a crocodile farm and sell it as that of cat's.

It is a full inch longer than the nile croc tooth from Bone Clones.

Maybe they do not belong to the same dentition among the 66 teeth of a croc?

It seems a bit more sharp at the tip compared to Croc. Teeth.
Croc.

I think it looks more like this than the Croc one.

It just doesn't have the lines at the tip of the canine. Reply
