Silvershark Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Looks like it could be a porpoise to me, do you know roughly what age the tooth is? That will at least pin it down to a time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy 55 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I do not find these often, and as for the age it must have been when Florida was underwater ? ??? It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 That's an Archeocete whale premolar. Nice Find!! I'll trade you for it -- how about a nice bear-dog canine? -------Harry Pristis I got to rummaging around my own collection and came up with these teeth. The Squalodont teeth appear to me to be miniature versions of the Archeocete whales, and the size of your tooth, Worthy, suggests this is a Squalodont tooth. Still an uncommon find in Florida, and particularly for the Santa Fe. ----Harry Pristis http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
