Picked up this large tooth along the shoreline of Lagoon Valley Reservoir when I was a kid ~1986. I was told it is a horse tooth, but it doesn't seem to match the morphology of horse teeth. Putting this on iNat to see what vertebrate biologists think it is. Seems possible to have been excavated during construction of the reservoir. Possibly older than modern (Holocene) - - - Pleistocene?

I don't know insect species, but the location of observation and the ecology (preference for Asclepias sp.) seems to fit. Observed here along Lockwood - San Ardo Road on the west side of Williams Hill. Pollinating Asclepias eriocarpa. About 50 individuals total observed on several Asclepias individuals. Numerous Pepsini sp (tarantula hawk) individuals observed pollinating the Asclepias also.

Typical central and northern California form of the taxon having white flower petals, rounded leaves, and apparently strictly endemic to clay soil. The southern California and northern Baja populations typically have pink flower petals, less round leaves, and growing on other soil textures (e.g. sandy). Taxon needs further study of southern CA form vs. northern CA form.
