Jesse Brown Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hi all: excited to be a part of the group and get some help identifying some previous and future finds. Hoping for as much detail as possible on the enclosed tooth i found this year. I suspect some sort of whale tooth, maybe. Location: Jekyll Island, GA (shorline). Thank you all in advance!

Meganeura Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Definitely a whale tooth. Based on the shape - Kogiopsis sp. @Boesse will possibly be able to provide more info though! 1 Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Is the cross section round or flattened? A photo of the base would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Some kind of smallish sperm whale tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Brown Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 @Al Dente @Boesse - thank you both for responding. Enclosing a cross-section of the base and a couple others new photos if they are helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Thanks for the additional photos. If Boesse says it is a whale tooth, believe him. I thought it looked really flat from the first couple photos but it is a lot rounder than I originally thought. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
