JorisVV Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Just got this 10,5 centimeter whale tooth (with Matrix) from Chile. What could the specimen ID be? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 You should check out Scaldicetus .sp but you might check with @Boesse just in case he has additional insights about Chilean whale teeth...

Boesse Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 "Scaldicetus" grade tooth as pointed out by @Shellseeker. Not much more can be said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Very nice tooth.. I have found a number of whale teeth here in Florida, but only a few are Scaldicetus. That small enamel "cap" and the shape are common traits across the world....
