Whale tooth I found

[godogs57]

As promised in my whale bone artifact thread, here is a whale tooth I found locally a few years ago. Big ol tooth. Notice on the second picture that shows the back side of the tooth, you can see "growth rings" in the upper part of the tooth. I have no idea what kind of whale it was, but here it is.

Hope you enjoy!

Cool. Thanks for the look.

oh yeah!!!! That is sweet! Sperm whale tooth maybe?

I've handled a sperm whale tooth before...it resembles that tooth, almost to a "T".

That is one nice find right there.

Great find, sir.
