whowat13 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I just received this today and was wondering what type of whale this tooth came from. It is from a river located near Beaufort, SC. The first photo is on a half inch grid. The tooth measures 3 inches long by1 inch in diameter. Thank you. -Bill H.

Boesse Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Probably a physeteroid sperm whale - interesting pattern on the crown. It looks like enamel, which would put this in the "Scaldicetus" grade group of archaic sperm whales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
