We found a fossilized tooth like this by the sea in Portugal. Google didn't really help us. But we assume it came from a prehistoric horse or something. Does anyone know what kind it is?
Hope you can see everything in the pictures 🙂
It seems to be very old as there were already shells on it
And what's that white stuff?? Bird poop?😂🤔

Loading...It's right under my window, and my cat keeps trying to eat it. What should I do? And is it dangerous?
Arte is currently broadcasting a program about the rapid adaptation of animals to climate change. The program also features the Galapagos finches. In contrast to Charles Darwin's discovery, it has now been astonishingly discovered that "evolution" does not take millions of years, but rather a very short period of time. This clearly shows that evolution…
Whenever I read or hear about prehistoric animals, people talk about how big they were. Mammoths, some dinosaurs, insects (in the Silurian period), giant birds (in the Paleogene period), and marine creatures existed. There were small animals back then, but why aren't there such large animals today? The largest are elephants, at a measly 4…
Hello, My question might be a bit strange, but I'm worried because my hamster has suddenly become very trusting. I've had a teddy hamster for a year now, and he's (so far) completely healthy and happy. He eats, runs around, and is happy. Although he's naturally lively, he's very shy and reserved when I'm around….
Mammut teeth are wider and differently patterned. You can see both below in this link:

Thanks!🥰 Finally someone who answers…
I’d like to. I am very happy to help you here.
And thanks for the *Sternchen 🙂
It’s not a horse tooth, it’s a big ruminant, probably a cow. More precisely, it is the crown of a rear jaw tooth (molar) from the upper jaw.
I don’t think the tooth is very old. The brown color comes through storage in the water, the white deposits are either lime or (as you write yourself) adhering shell residues. Are you sure the tooth is already stoned? From the photos, he still looks perfectly normal for me (apart from the color that, as I said, was caused by the humid environment).
Horse teeth are shaped differently.
