It looks like it's been through a lot... Can anyone help me decifer what this might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Can you take a pic of the end of the object as well as some close ups in better lighting. This will help to get a good ID. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I'm seeing Sperm whale tooth here. Your mother wouldn't happen to be a sailor on a whaling ship I suppose? A picture of the bottom end will confirm or kill my suspicion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Welcome to TFF! I also see a sperm whale tooth. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Vieira Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I agree. It's a sperm whale tooth with any doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I, too, see a sperm whale tooth, but it can't be determined from the photo whether it is real or cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Are those bite marks on the surface, or am I dreaming of it?
