C cavingbiker Active member Aug 21, 2019 #6 correction. not a tooth its part of the bottom of the MT. Where's it from? Get them to try refitting the broken bit - goes in the middle of the end to the Left and measure it greatest length and I'll calculate the horse's height.

The Old Ruminator Well-known member Aug 21, 2019 #7 Ahh. Others have said possibly a small horse. Will try to get a measurement as I dont have it now.
