Whale Teeth & Fossils

A TOP QUALITY, EXTRA LARGE & very rare Archaeocete whale, Zygorhiza kochii, from Harleyville, So.

The crown has fantastic articulation with incredible detail. Complete root. This tooth has minimal repair to tips of the 3 cusps on the left side only.

Museum Quality.  Note - 6" x 8" Riker frame included. One of my favorites!
