Saber-tooth tiger milk tooth, 5 inches
A five-inch milk canine of Smilodon fatalis from the La Brea Tar Pits, California, at the large end of the range for a shed tooth.
About the asset
A second Smilodon fatalis milk canine, this one about five inches long. The adult sabers of the species reached around seven inches, so a shed juvenile tooth of this length sits near the top of the size range.
It comes from the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, where asphalt seeps trapped Pleistocene animals for tens of thousands of years and preserved their remains in quantity.
Despite the common name, Smilodon is not related to today’s tigers; the name describes the dagger-like upper canines. Smilodon fatalis ranged across the Americas through the Pleistocene and died out about 10,000 years ago.
