About South Dakota Horse Tooth

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

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