My dad says if I can work out what this tooth is from, I can have the rest of the skull. He knows I'll ask the internet... More pics in the comments.

It was a dingo if anyone stumbles upon this. Basically a dog.

Sweet, I was going to say dog or some sort of canine.

I would like to think its your job to identify this sort of thing and u just outsourced to lemmy lol.

Actually I outsourced the pics to chatgpt and it thought they could be from a dog. My dad said it was native to Australia which is a smirk at the fact that dogs and dingos are a hot topic here, and arguably not native.

Years ago I got him fossil cave bear teeth and told him to work out what they were from and this was his pay back. It took years lol.

Wow suprised chatgpt was so accurate (assuming thats the right answer).
