Close! I went to college for microbiology, but we got a year-long crash course on general biology, including macroorganisms, plus we had a lot of ag students that I dragged kicking and screaming through their courses as a tutor. I probably spent twenty minutes or so on it because I have a really hazy recall of dentition details.
I need to do chores today, so I instead used my procrastination energy here! It's the molar of a herbivore. Here's what I have:
Definitely not beaver. Beaver incisors are orange and shaped very differently and it's far too large to be a beaver premolar or molar. Wrong morphology anyhow - beaver pre/molars are plicated and this is not. It's also not from a muskrat based on all the same criteria but the plication.
It's definitely from a bovid, not from a caprid or equid. Equids tend to have these bizarre columnar molars, and caprid molars are too small and the wrong shape. Since you're in Germany, that leaves us with cows and European bison.
It's the first or second molar from one of those based on the two cusps; if it had three cusps, it'd be the third molar. What clinches it is the asymmetrical gap in the roots (called a furcation area). Cows have a gap right in the middle of their first and second molars, whereas bison have an off-center gap in their first molar.
Congratulations, you have a bison M1!

Too true. They literally use the instrument of their god's death as a symbol of worship.
We're moving soon and my partner and family members keep finding these "nice" new houses for us. No fucking way. I want a nice, dated 1960s to 1970s house. It may not be fancy but it's more likely to be solid.

Soooo... We're fucked.
Bees are brutal. In some colonies, they'll bee ball queens that are no longer fecund. "Thanks for all the babies, now roast to death!" In others, the new queen beats the old queen to death.
Fucking bees, man. Fucking bees.

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

Thanks! It was 10 times better than normal because I really didn't want to fight spiders while cleaning out the shed.
