rkfrace Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hello beloved forum. I could use help on a mammal incisor ID for a friend: they don't have any info on the location, other than that it is domestic to the States, unfortunately. I've ruled out Giant Beaver, and I assume it's not a baby mammoth tusk (there appears to be a slight 'bulge' in the middle). Any advice would be deeply appreciated. Please see pictures.

ynot Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I am pretty sure it is a whale tooth. @Boesse should know. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Horizontal Banding!!!!! Your tooth, These teeth are found in the SouthEast States, If found in Florida , it would be called Kogiopsis .sp. What is the length of your tooth? 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkfrace Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thank you so much -- my friend was recently given the same advice. In hindsight, it seems so obvious (I have two Kogiopsis of my own, though they are mineralized pure black). I really appreciate your time and assistance Shellseeker.

Boesse Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I just saw this on facebook someplace - certainly a sperm whale tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
