belemniten Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I need help to identify this tooth: Its about 2 cm long and comes from Antwerp in Belgium. There you can find fossils, which come from the eocene to the pliocene. I dont have an idea what this could be I am not even sure that its a tooth ... Hopefully someone can help me ! From the other side: The cross section: Thanks ! Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Tip of a whale tooth seems reasonable. A couple of marine mammal tooth tips... Note the thin layer of enamel and the texture of a whale tip. 2 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrophyseter Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Has enamel that matches those of a whale. The crown seems a bit robust, maybe a large raptorial whale? If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
