Squalodon or Seal

[Calvert Cliff Dweller]

Hey guys I need your opinion on what these teeth are. They both came out of matrix of Zone 8 or 9 Blue Clay Calvert Formation 

They are rather small for Squalodon but could be from a juvenile specimen or could be Seal ?

 

 Thanks Cliff Dweller

The one with the double root looks like squalodon to me. Were these teeth associated? 

[Calvert Cliff Dweller]

They were in a couple of feet of each other in the blue clay at Brownies.

They are a older find of about 15 years .

Definitely Squalodon. Double root is nice!

[Vieira]

I agree with Squalodon.

[Al Dente]

They are odontocete but I don’t think the single rooted tooth is Squalodon.

The single rooted tooth looks like delphinodon dividum... but I hunt on the other side of the Atlantic. (Antwerp, Belgium) So not quite sure

Nice! I’m sure @Boesse will know exactly what it is.

I believe it is sometimes found in the cliffs, but I know little more than that.

Thanks guys for your help on IDENTIFYING these teeth. I remember finding them on the same day along with a Squalodon root fragment within a few feet of each other in the same blue gray clay Slump pile.

Since I have your attention Charlotte and you are knowledgeable in Miocene whale department I have these to associated I believe Whale teeth that I found in the matrix of Zone 10 Calvert formation in Maryland USA. What is your take on these specimens.

Hi sorry for the hiatus! The single rooted tooth above is certainly Delphinodon, and the double rooted tooth looks like a miniature Squalodon; smallish Squalodon-like teeth are known from the Pungo but are unpublished. The two teeth in the most recent picture look like Squalodon incisor tusks.
