[MARMAM] Odontocete tooth spacing data

8 Mar 2006

      Dear MARMAMers

I am looking for information/data on tooth-spacings for three 
odontocete species:
short-finned pilot whales, killer whales, and adult and young sperm whales.
Specifically, I am interested in the actual inter-tooth spacings and 
if possible how
they vary throughout the jawline. This is for a study on scarring on 
sperm whale
flukes.

If you can help with actual measurements, or can point me to relevant 
publications,
I would be very grateful and please get in touch at <cormac@mcs.st-and.ac.uk>

Thanks very much.

Best regards,

Cormac Booth
