Williamb55 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Traveled east early Saturday morning to collect at Brownies Beach. Arrived to a bright red sunrise with a falling tide. Plenty of material was rolling around and the wind was blowing. Found a very nice crocodile tooth standing upright in the sand. Also found a sweet Peccary molar at low tide sitting on a sandbar. My friend arrived a few hours after me and scored a nice Squalodon tooth. I also found a much smaller one, but I love how it looks. As usual, at least one nice hemi was found with my biggest being 1 1/4". Had a real shamer broken one that was crazy sharp and would've broke 1 1/2". I also found a cool piece of ray bard and two pieces of fused ray plate. Eventually the crowds showed up as the day got warmer and the wind slowed down; overall it was a nice day at the beach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willy Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just curious, what are you calling crocodile tooth and where is the smaller Squalodon tooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a good picture of the other side of the croc tooth, but it is not a sperm whale tooth. At least it is nothing close to the sperm whale I found there last week.

ynot Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 There are several species of "sperm whale". It does look like a whale tooth to Me also. Maybe @Boesse can shed some light on this. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

hokiehunter Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Nice finds. Was thinking peccary but can't tell from picture. On second and third glance though I can see enamel goes all the way around so agree on squalodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was originally a sperm whale tooth, but some guy told me it was a crocodile and he was leading others on a tour so I thought he probably knows more than me, but it probably is from a whale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willy Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The tooth I am calling sperm whale might be a peccary incisor. Picture is too poor to tell for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately I brought my finds here and had them correctly identified. I even once ran into a college professor leading a group of college students at Matoaka try to tell me a hemi tooth was a meg tooth when I showed the group my finds. Lot's of "experts" walking around the cliffs. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
