Summary: | Fig. 2. A possible origin of the Otodus tooth bite traces on the root of the Neogene sperm whale tooth CMM-V-8955. An Otodus sp. (foreground) is biting the rostrum of a sperm whale (background). That the bite traces occur on the tooth of the sperm whale hints at a live antagonistic interaction between these two macropredators.
