Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted April 26, 2017 Hard to tell. It could have been a longer claw. See where it broke off at the top of the picture? Where abouts was it found? Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eyelander 164 Report post Posted April 26, 2017 It could be from a beaver also, a front incisor, they are hollow. I have a muskrat skull with a tooth like that which is similar but only 1 inch long. Got it off a rail line, poor thing got clipped by a train. Quote Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hank 11 Report post Posted April 26, 2017 The claw was found last week on a farm in Leamington On. It's only about a km north of Point Pelee on Lake Eire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaptain Kirk 34 Report post Posted April 28, 2017 it Looks like a Beaver Tooth. i have seen this many times from front beaver teeth, after they decay outside from the weather. they split apart. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James01 223 Report post Posted June 29, 2017 Roger is right, it could have been part of a longer claw... but I don't think its a beaver tooth (see below - that's a beaver tooth). Given where it was found, it being from a badger isn't a bad guess (see map). Apparently, there are less than 200 badgers in Ontario.
