Here is a very interesting fossil. This is a large tooth from an extinct Sperm Whale. This tooth was found in Miocene Deposits on the Atlantic Coast. The fossil has been removed from the surrounding matrix so that it can be viewed from all angles. This tooth is extremely 3-dimensionally preserved and has the massive root attached. The corrugated enamel of the tooth is quite evident. This is a very impressive tooth from a unique ancient animal.
