Huge, 5.7" Fossil Sperm Whale (Physeteridae) Tooth - South Carolina

This is a large, 5.7" long Miocene-aged fossil sperm whale (family Physeteridae) 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.
