Fin Lover Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I found this on Edisto beach. Can anyone tell me if it is some sort of tooth? Thank you!

fossilhunter21 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Hi, @Fin Lover. It definitely looks like it could be a tooth, but I am not sure. @Shellseeker and, @Harry Pristis do you know what it could be? -Micah Edited May 1, 2022 by fossilhunter21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Looks to me to be a small section of a marginal from the shell of a water turtle. The striations on one side are the basis of that guess. 1 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njcreekhunter Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 This looks like a cetacean tooth crown to me but I am unsure of the species. A great find! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullStrong Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Perhaps squalodon partial tooth or a broken tip of a basilosaurus tooth? 1 “Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum" Descartes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Thank you all for the ideas! I've been looking online and am not sure if there were squalodon in SC. I hope I insert this link correctly: http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/111312-odontocete-or-squalodon/ But, I think this at least gives me a general direction. You all are awesome.
