BellamyBlake Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have here a tooth from Lee Creek, Aurora, North Carolina. I believe it to be Kentriodon. It's a hair above 1". Does this seem accurate? If so, could it potentially be narrowed down further yet? Thank you, Bellamy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellamyBlake Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 @Boesse, I understand this is your area. I'd appreciate your eyes on this. Tentatively I've ID'd it Kentriodon schneideri; I have no idea how accurate that is and am hoping you could clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Howdy - a precise identification is not really possible, as teeth of this general shape are common amongst many families of odontocetes. Likely too large for Kentriodon in general, which is a fairly diminutive dolphin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
