Harry Pristis Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It's a tooth. 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...
DeeM Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Any idea what kind this may be ? Whale maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It would be helpful to know its dimensions and where it was found; pictures from other angles might be useful too.

Auspex Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It's a bit banged up, but I have a small bagful like it, from there, that I always thought of as crocodile teeth.

powelli1 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hi DeeM It looks like a sperm Whale tooth from the size of it and not a crocodile I have a Whale tooth from Westmoreland Co. that is 5 1/2'' long. I also have 25 or so at the 2'' to 3'' size like this one you have. If you could do one more photo of the other side for me. Nice find anyway.

Auspex Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 The scale is in CM, not inches. Also, I just don't see the typical 'layering' usual to Sperm Whale teeth.

Harry Pristis Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I think it's a mammal canine, but anything beyond that is dubious. 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...
