Hi Richard,

For my 2 cents worth: its difficult to tell from the illustration, but 2 at least does look more like a canid than the thylacine teeth in these pics: https://shorthand.uq.edu.au/small-change/is-the-thylacine-really-extinct/

I don't suppose the originals are at the back of a museum drawer somewhere?

In the middle 19th century the teeth of a dingo were supposedly found with extinct megafauna and an artefact in Victoria, Australia.

Such an association is contrary to existing knowledge about the time of introduction of the dingo into Australia.

The ancient illustration of the two specimens (2 and 2a) can be seen at:

Are these definitely the teeth of Canis?
