greel Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Here is a tooth I found in the creek. I saw a similar tooth in someone's display case at the Aurora Fossil Festival that was labeled "mosasaur". I'd always thought mine was some type of whale tooth, although rather small. Could it be a worn mosasaur tooth in socket? -greel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have had some whale teeth break like that. Some of them were layered like an onion inside. With one tooth I was able to "peel off" the broken outer section and I was left with a nice, but smaller, tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieronymus Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 In Belgium I've seen a lot of these too... They were found in Mio-pliocene deposits, never found one myself but I've seen many. They were also labelled as whale tooth. Some way or another, the outer enamel tends to peel of quite often until the hard core of the tooth remains. http://rhaetianlorraine.webs.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
