Samurai Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) A couple of my friends are on vacation and have taken photos of this tooth they found in the ocean. I unfortunately do not have much knowledge in mamal teeth and was wondering if anyone knew what this was. Unfortunately they don't have anything to give for size refrence or the age of the tooth in question. I apologize.
