This is a prehistoric toothed whale that fed on sharks!
I've actually found one of these in North Louisiana. Sea level was higher, and the land wasn't built around there by the Mississippi River yet.

Starkville actually lies on Upper Cretaceous chalk. Prairie Bluff Chalk to be exact. This chalk was formed from marine sediments. In certain areas you can finds lots of shark teeth or I suppose Basilasaurus teeth.
Great thread Pectus!
