I agree with Sheila and Susanne I think it looks much more like a horse canine than a sea mammal tooth, they are usually not so heavily curved.

Hi All!

I have a mystery tooth in need of identification.  I'm not sure of the archaeological context but it came from an excavation in Nordland county, Norway.  My thought is this tooth is a canine from a sea mammal says the fish guy:-)


Thanks everyone!
Colin
