2thfindr Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Found this guy yesterday looking for shark teeth. I’m guessing some kind of whale but need help with this one. 1 UnDeRgRoUnD Fossil Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 It does have the general shape of a modern Sperm Whale tooth. But could easily be something completely different. More pictures are needed to really see what you have got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilsAnonymous Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 A definite whale. I agree with Caldigger in the sense that it is shaped like a sperm whale. @sharkdoctor @Boesse 1 On The Hunt For The Trophy Otodus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkdoctor Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Great find! It would be really useful to have photos from all angles and a closeup of the upper area where there seems to be a transition. Also, I'd hate to venture a guess without knowing the locality and possible nearby formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Bobby is our resident whale expert. He's busy these days and intermittent on the forum but when he catches wind of this he'll be happy to give his opinion. @Boesse My opinion is that it is a marvelous find. Welcome back to TFF, you've been absent for a while. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
