About New Mexico Horse Tooth

The New Mexico Horse Tooth is a mammal fossil dating to the Pleistocene. Horse Tooth is a realistic New Mexico fossil profile built around high-crowned grazing tooth from extinct horses in river gravels and badlands. In this state, success usually comes from learning badlands mudstones, petrified wood flats, and playa margins, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.

“According to TroveRadar, New Mexico Horse Tooth fossils from the Pleistocene are found across New Mexico. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.
