I'm having trouble identifying this fossil specimen. It comes from a Miocene fossiliferous site in Serbia. The associated small mammalian fauna suggests MN 4-5 (the Upper Ottnangian/Karpatian) age. Any help would be appreciated.
Definitely not a hominoid. Too big and the crown formation and shapes are not correct for humans or any of the higher apes. No expert on teeth shapes out side those.
Thank you all for your opinions! I'll contact the people some of you suggested. The ape was just an initial tought, but as I said, the size and morphology do not fit.
Jay Kelley, I will definitely check suids, thank you.
I'm in accord with Eulàlia Subirà. All research of ICP know well all Miocenne Antropomorphoidea. I Think that theses tooths are a suids but only with a photo is very difficult to say something definite
I would recommend to compare with an lower p1 of Anchitherium aurelianensis (the lower i3 of B. lockardi is three lobed (Made 1996: Pl. 22/3) as described by Abusch-Sievert 1983 (p. 66, fig. 12).
