Fossilnoodlechamp Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hello is this a pygmy sperm whale tooth? Also investing in a caliper and better camera for better clarity and scale, kinda handicap at the moment. This was found in northeast florida out of the hawthorn formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Other angles might be helpful, top, bottom, other side, left and right.

Shellseeker Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 It is a whale tooth. I do not recognize it as similar to any of the numerous whale teeth I have found/seen. You might read this thread. I found this tooth 8-10 years ago, never identified beyond whale .sp Much smaller but a lot of similarity. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
