There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Freak Felids - A Discussion of History's Largest Felines

Don't quote me on anything yet, but from the four fittings, @Fieryeel's tooth I get a GSL of 480 mm and ML of 320 mm (Ngandong mandible, the best match we concluded), GSL = 450 mm and ML=293 mm (Longdang tiger), and GSL = 385 mm and ML = 256 mm (Trinil mandible). The Trinil mandibles have really thick canines, the length/height ratio of those is about 0.30, while @Fieryeel's tooth is 0.23 and one we found as a best match about 0.225 as well.


That second fossil looks cat-like as well to me. What is the greatest length on the tooth from the side? That could again be a clue to confirming its owner's identity.

The fossilization pattern looks similar to the one found on P. youngi:
