PSchleis Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 This one is a first for me. Online sources indicate perhaps dolphin/porpoise/whale? Can anyone narrow it down? Myrtle beach find. Thank you! - Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Looks like you've got it narrowed down pretty well. Lets see if Bobby can go a bit further with it. @Boesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Delphinoidea indet., or better yet, Delphinida indet. These teeth are present in several different odontocete families (Kentriodontidae, Delphinidae, etc.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These teeth are present in several different odontocete families (Kentriodontidae, Delphinidae, etc.) Although it is surely true that a narrower ID than Delphinida indet. is not to be made, I wonder if we can at least exclude the porpoises? Nowadays porpoises do have quite distinct spatulate teeth, I think a fossil delphinid with conical teeth would not be called a porpoise/phocoenid either?
