I found this tooth a while back in a small private agricultural marl pit I have been hunting for a few years. It is Eocene Castle Hayne Formation in eastern North Carolina. This pit has produced roughly 26 species of Eocene sharks, including multiple Hexanchus, C. auricualtus up to 3 1/2 inches; sea snake verts, large amounts of Pristis fossils among other items. It also has yielded multiple archaeocete whale teeth and verts. I originally thought this was a small whale tooth, but it just didnt seem right to call it whale. In Oct. at the annual NCFC Fossil Fair in Hickory N.C. I had it on display. Retired Smithsonian Paleontologist Dave Bohaska said he thought it was "sea cow" He took multiple pics of it, but I am still awaiting his replies. I have been doing some research on line when I came upon this archived thread. What do you guys think? @siteseer @Boesse Adding pics in next post

My wife found this chunk of bone at Myrtle Beach, SC yesterday evening. I think it is a skull fragment. Can anyone confirm or deny and maybe identify a species? Thanks The photos are from both sides of the bone. #1,4,&5 are what I'm calling interior.
