Calvert Cliff Dweller Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The one with the double root looks like squalodon to me. Were these teeth associated? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert Cliff Dweller Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 They were in a couple of feet of each other in the blue clay at Brownies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeargleSchmeargl Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Definitely Squalodon. Double root is nice! 5 Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I agree with Squalodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 They are odontocete but I don’t think the single rooted tooth is Squalodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlotteG Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The single rooted tooth looks like delphinodon dividum... but I hunt on the other side of the Atlantic. (Antwerp, Belgium) So not quite sure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Nice! I’m sure @Boesse will know exactly what it is. 36 minutes ago, CharlotteG said: The single rooted tooth looks like delphinodon dividum... but I hunt on the other side of the Atlantic. (Antwerp, Belgium) So not quite sure I believe it is sometimes found in the cliffs, but I know little more than that. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert Cliff Dweller Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 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.

(Antwerp, Belgium) So not quite sure 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
