Praefectus Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 My first thought is that they look a lot like the Javan "tiger" teeth that some sellers put together using croc teeth and fake roots. Not sure if they might be whale, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Information on where they were found and/or or how they were obtained would be helpful.

jpc Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 These are mammal. My first thought was also sperm whale or its relatives. The inflated root like this is not found in crocodiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 In your first picture, the root on both teeth is the part between the zero of the tape measure to about 7cm. See how it is much wider than the business end of the tooth? That is what I mean by inflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Your pieces, your choice.
