Description: | Teeth are extremely hard wearing and are often the only part of large mammals that are found as fossils. It is not known whether this very worn tooth is from a whale that died when the rocks that it was found in were laid down or one that was eroded out of older strata and mixed up with younger fossils. Toothed whales (Odontoceti) are predators that eat fish, squid and other marine mammals and have a single blow hole. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
