Charleston SC Beach

[thinkingthoughts23]

I found these on separate occasions at the same beach while looking for sharks teeth. Thy are very unique from anything else I’ve found. The smaller one looks like it could’ve had another root that was broken off. 
 

As a bonus, anyone know what the white marks are on this shark tooth?  Found at the same Charleston beach.

Hey, the teeth are early whale teeth. I am not informed about your region or stratigraphic area but looks like squalodon sp. The whit traces on the Otodus sp. Are plant root marks. Plant roots use a light organic acid to break up the ground and defend itself. If they hit a tooth this “lightning” appears. If the tooth stays in the root horizont it will slowly degrease

Couldn't the tooth in the middle be seal? I'm not familiar with the size of a quartet dollar tho 😅

Waipatiid dolphin teeth

 

Squalodons aren't found here, although they do look similar.

 

Here is a Waipatiid tooth I found with both roots, just so you can see it complete:
