Fossil Horse Teeth

Equus complicatus, also known as the complex-tooth horse, was the most common Pleistocene horse in the eastern and southern parts of the United States. Growing to about the size of the modern species, E. complicatus was a relatively large species.

Equus complicatus was the first North American fossil horse to be described, but research conducted by Leidy and others revealed a remarkable diversity of American fossil horses. Indeed, horses actually evolved in North America and dispersed to the Old World via the Bering Land Bridge. While several of the Eurasian and African species are with us today, the last of the native American horses died out about EIGHT THOUSAND years ago along with the Saber-Tooth Cat and the well-known Mammoth

These fossil horse teeth were found while scuba diving in the murky rivers of South Carolina while looking for the Megalodon Sharks Teeth, facing dangers such as Alligators, Sharks, Sting-rays, and boaters who dont know what a dive flag is.
