label: Notes
content: This large molar tooth is from a horse. This mammal had 3 molars and 3 premolars on each side of the back jaw. Molars, such as this one, ground down on abrasive fibrous foods like grass on a daily basis, causing a great deal of wear for the molars. This molar is 2cm thick and measures 8.75cm x 3cm.
