YOWIE TOOTH FOUND ?

[paulmcleod67]

The need for some hands on research has had me relocating from coastal Sydney into the Brisbane outer suburbs of Tipolli.
The reason? Well the chances of activly filming a Yowie are pretty remote and science dictates the establishment of the species
with physical evidence, and whist the Blue mountains would be a prefered local, its geography can be limiting and quite dangerous in
getting to the more remote locations that interest me.
However, over the boarder there are many opertunities for discovery that are not so exhausting of resources in order to make a
potential physical remains discovery.Within two weeks that decision seems to have paid dividends.

YOWIE TOOTH FIND?

Anyone that claims there is no evidence for a relic hominid species (including the yowie) in australia clearly hasn't been looking in the right places.

Borrowing from methods used by old school gold miners, I decided to head into areas where yowies were reported back in the days when most of Australia was still wild.
Locating small streams that contained well weathered quartzite and river stone, sourced from nearby steep bluffs and hard weathering stone
cliffs and hillsides, of which I spent a few minutes panning with my bear hands and sorting through pebbles of grannite and quartz until I finally
located a stream that contained what I was looking for....a fossilized tooth! although well rounded from water action and movement along the stream
bed ,over eons, the tooth still has a nerve root chanel and even some fossilized tooth decayed matter imbedded in it.
I will, as time and money allows, have an expert look at it. Im reporting it here along with video of the object as a record, given the shady historical
disaperances of such finds in the past. I have the streams location well established and will be going back to look for aditional finds at a later date.

Anyone wishing to come along is most welcome. Forgive me if I dont publish its location just yet, suffice to say its within a few dozen miles of Woodenbong.

I've provided a few bonfire fossilised teeth found mainly in china for reference.

I'm posting the video at the moment....having a few broadband issues, so I hope the screen captures suffice until I resolve the issue?

OK finally, here's the video concerning the tooths discovery

Excellent work, and a unique find!

Fossils only form under particular conditions, so it's no wonder they're rare. The only remains of the Gigantopithecus are its teeth and some jawbone fragments so a tooth is a significant piece of evidence, seeing as an entire species' existence can be extrapolated from it.

I wonder if the fossil fields in queensland would yield a discovery of a skeleton using ground penetrating radar .

That's an excellent idea and certainly something I would support whole heartedly. Perhaps , if I can verify the tooth, a geologist or palaeontologist may take up the cause. Id think that if they bury their dead ground disturbance would certainly show....if the appropriate site were located.

Here's a still of the washed out area in question, there is a ton of new exposure after the floods.

Fingers crossed matey. I really think its a tooth. The images and video, whilst HD don't give the same feel as holding the object. The texture is strange to the touch.

Artifacts located near the tooth find at Teviot creek in a washed out embankment.

Interesting. It certainly looks like a tooth in the video. I just hope it isn't human.

[paulmcleod67]

A human tooth would be interesting as its quartzite for sure. I think its way to big to be even a molar considering the root structure is worn away and its still around a centimeter deep by about .08 Cm across. Ill put up a scaled image later.

Is that not an amalgum filling on that their tooth?

No mate it's a symmetrical fracture or hole in the " tooth" filled with a hard grey substance and some concretion like grains.

My interpretation is that ,if it is a fossilized tooth, what we are looking at is mineralised decay.

Perhaps a self extraction due to pain?....Admittedly that is only a speculative theory.

My prime suspect for the descendant of the Yowie is Homo Erectus Boisi or "Nutcraker man" Which would explain the tooth fracture (if such it is).

There is no enamel and the entire object is quartzite but the fracture and dark grey matter embedded inside the object is NOT.

I can understand the fine grain concretion but I can't account for the mineralised grey matter that runs deep into the "tooth" but is clearly not part of its formation.

[paulmcleod67]

The relative scale of the "tooth" and "decayed hole" also a closer look at the matter embedded in the object.

I suggest posting it secure to physical anthropologist or better still walk into the relevant department of a university. Personally i'd first take it to my dentist to see what they say about it. But then i'm overdue for a checkup haha. But seriously.. get dental person to look at it if you can't get a specialized anthropologist in the near future.

[Simon M]

Crikey...that is a large tooth.

More Tiviat creek washout site finds.


Could these artifacts possibly be pre-aboriginal (considering the possible fossilised tooth found almost alongside them) homo erectus stone tools?
