Squalodon Molar
Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA - Squalodon atlanticus |
|
|
It's always a treat to find a squalodon tooth, especially a molar. The double root lobes are almost never intact, and even though these are snapped off at the tips, I would still call this a mostly complete tooth.... |

Fossil Squalodon Whale Tooth
Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA - Squalodon atlanticus |
|
|
The enamel of this little squalodon whale tooth has incredible detail. I have found a lot of whale teeth hunting in the oligocene Chandler Bridge formation in Summerville, SC, but I have never found this position before. The enamel cap is fully serrated at looks like a molar, but the tooth has only a single root. Very bizarre - looks a bit like a torch! ... |

1 7/16" Squalodon Molar
Colleton County, South Carolina, USA - Squalodon atlanticus |
|
|
This is the last of three squalodon molars I found in the same dive, and its by far the best of the three. I found it barely hanging onto the Chandler Bridge formation where it fossilized. The serrations are awesome to behold, and the detail in the enamel is unbelievably detailed. Even the fragile tips of the root lobes are intact, a feature rarely seen in teeth disarticulated from the skull.... |

1 5/16" Squalodon Molar
Colleton County, South Carolina, USA - Squalodon atlanticus |
|
|
This is the second of three squalodon molars I found in one dive. I couldn't believe my luck at the point I found this one. These teeth are so rare to find, that its been almost a year since I've found a complete one. This one, unlike the first, is serrated.... |

1 1/2" Squalodon Molar
Colleton County, South Carolina, USA - Squalodon atlanticus |
|
|
This was the first of three awesome double rooted squalodon molars I found in one dive. Before I found this one, I was getting worried that my dive would end in failure, and I would have to hang my regulator in shame on the long dive home.... |

Here's another tooth from the set I've been lucky enough to put together from the ditch. This one came from higher in the Chandler Bridge, thus the difference in color.

A fantastic double rooted specimen! Check out the serrations on the enamel cap. unfortunately, the shovel hit the fragile root lobes when this tooth was extracted. You just never know when they're gonna be there! Luckily, most of the material was recovered. Check out the whole set of teeth associated with this one

Whale teeth are scarce, and double rooters are the most rare. The ding on the root is minimal compared to the total coolness of this tooth!... |

3 1/2" Squalodon Incisor
Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA - Squalodon atlanticus |
|
|
What a tooth! This is a magnificent specimen dug directly from the geologic layer where the previous owner of this tooth lost it 28 million years ago. It is so rare to find one in this fantastic condition. No damage to the enamel or root. If I had just found this one, my day would have been successful, but I found an associated specimen, too.... |

3" Squalodon Pre-Molar
Dorchester County, South Carolina, USA - Squalodon atlanticus |
|
|
This is almost as good as it gets when it comes to whale teeth. This is a tooth directly from the original layer where it was lost 28 million years ago, and it is in a remarkable state of preservation. If you look closely, you can see the serrations on it. Near the root end, you can see where the very ends were separated. Just one or two positions back from this in the animal's mouth, the teeth have double roots.... |
