And the size and density also match with the other tiger fossil/subfossil teeth I've seen before.

PS, the sabertooth cat fangs are also very fascinating, and they are very different from that of the conical tooth cats. And please share the info with this forum if you got one.

Aye, after looking at more photos, I agree too it's a tiger tooth.

Sure, if and when I get my sabertooth I shall let you guys know.

The other tiger fossils that were found there and published (what we have focused on) seem to be lost. Would you be able to take a few extra measurements for me? Could you measure the length and width of the tooth at the root line as well as the greatest length and width of the tooth? I can show a diagram later if my measurements aren't clear.

Alright I shall do so later. A diagram would be helpful. Reply
