5.7" Fossil Sperm Whale (Scaldicetus) Tooth - South Carolina

This is a 5.7" long, Miocene aged, fossil Sperm Whale (Scaldicetus sp) tooth collected from a river in South Carolina. It was found associated with fossil shark teeth including those of the Megalodon. These whales would have been a food source for the gigantic Megalodon sharks living during the same time period.

There is a repaired crack in the middle of the tooth.
