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

This is a large, 5.05" long, Miocene-aged, fossil Sperm Whale (Scaldicetus sp.) tooth collected from a river in South Carolina. It was found preserved alongside 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.
