Whale tooth

[Oregon Viking]

Found on the beach, Pacific ocean among rocks.
Research tells me whale tooth.
But I'm not 100%.

My digging buddy is out bear hunting right now. He gave me this bear tooth.
Bears don't have three inch long teeth.

You do realize Northwestern Washington coastal region
has coastal brown bears.

Dead animals do float .

The tooth in your photo is not a canine with root.

Search for grizzly canine easily large enough. Just
my opinion, you know what they say about that . Lol

My link to bing #6 is a grizzy canine #7 is a black bear canine

AH THATS MY CANINE I HAD REMOVED. LOOKS LIKE OLD WILD HOG TUSK TOOTH

 

[bradyboy]

Correct me if I'm wrong
I thought whale teeth were straight, not curved for tearing
IMO

Probably an Orca tooth. Sub

I vote whale tooth. All but that defined tip end is the root. It has been beach tumbled for some time.

Well, it is either a Sperm Whale's tooth or a Brown Bear's tooth but I vote Sperm Whale! If in fact a Sperm Whale's tooth, it cannot be sold unless you can prove it dates to before 1872 when lost or was lost between 1872 and 1972 and you can get a waiver as Whale's teeth and bones are protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

No idea where you got your info, but this is incorrect. There are no coastal brown
bears in Washington. There are a few grizzlies in the N. Cascades, but they are
still few and far between. Black bears, yes, but Brown or Grizzly, no.

No clue what that is all I know is that It's a Viking tooth now!

Cool find!

After living in Alaska and seeing whale teeth often, that would be a tiny one, it does have the shape of larger teeth. Grizzly teeth, Canines are Huge, I made a 4" Grizzly Tooth a shifter nob for my truck, I have big hands and it fills them up.

My first guess was a killer whale tooth. What does the cross section look like? Interestingly enough, you can tell what a killer whale eats by the shape of the teeth, and what they eat can tell you whether it was a local, transient, or offshore killer whale.

Here are a couple of pictures of sea lion teeth.

With roots like that, I bet they hate to go to a Dentist!

Sperm whale teeth are WAY Bigger than that...

 

[unclemac]

being on the coast i vote sea lion too. I have found seal and seal lion sculls before on Washington beaches and the teeth look very much like a bear's.
