    Equus (Horse Tooth)

    Scientific name: Equus sp.

    Origin: South Carolina (United States)

    Geologic Epoch: Pleistocene

    Age: 2 Million years

    These teeth belonged to a prehistoric ancestor of today's horses that disappeared during the Ice Age. These teeth, similar to those of modern ungulate herbivores, are wide and flat in order to chew grass.

    The black colour corresponds to the mineral where it remained buried for so long.
