Thank you very much for your reply. It is tiger canine! I thought it is the upper canine, but seems not like at crown's radian.
But, by your pictures, I believe this is the lower canine of tiger. 

How the body size this tiger? 
Can estimate this skull length or body size by this crown length to compare with known data between crown and skull?

I can estimate the size for you from the skulls I measured. Could you please measure the crown diameter lateromedially (LM) and antero-posteriorly (AP)? I've attached a guide on where and how to measure the diameter. Measure the AP diameter as shown. The LM diameter is the diameter perpendicular to that (width of the tooth). Also to have the in situ crown height, could you please measure the crown height from where I have marked the AP diameter.

Will try to have some more writeup on it tomorrow. Thank you for sharing!

Interestingly, the layer of peatlands in China got fossil-rich for the tiger species, it did look like a founder effect phenomenon after the Toba eruption.

Maybe due the Toba eruption, the amount of peatlands in East Asia got geographically spawned in large number? Reply
