Its come to my attention that Jotaro Kujo's lifting strength for Star Platinum is based off of this calculatio which was never actually evaluated, with the one comment on the blog being a disagreement towards the method used and the calculation itself having two other methods done with much lower results. A minor change but a change nonetheless, not sure exactly where Star Platinum would scale as a result though. This would also affect Dio Brando.
 
The feat itself needs to be redone actually as the calc assumes the teeth SP pushed back are literal diamond when this isnt the case
 
High Preistess said that it was as hard as diamonds. Unless there's something in the story that contradicts it, it can be assumed that it's as hard as a diamond.
 
As hard as diamond =/= being literally made of diamond/being as dense as diamond
 
Enamel can be as hard as diamonds with sufficient density, and those teeth look like normal teeth, so they should be enamel.
 
According to wikipedia, Calcium Phosphate has a density of 3.14 g/cm3

I have decided to re-do the calculation with that in mind. Unforunately the calculator could not let me use said material so I chose something with a comparable density, Calcium Difluride, which has a density of 3.18 g/cm┬│. In practice, this would only amount to a difference of a few pounds.

Using the accepted volume (from an accepted calc) of the teeth as 35.64 cubic meters and we get 113.34 tonnes, or Class K lifting strength.

So even assuming they are regular teeth, it would still be a Class K lifting feat.
 
The feat is from destroying High Priestess' teeth when it was part of the seabed correct? Why would it be enamel? Why wouldnt it be the material the stand was possessing at the time of the feat?
 
The seabed is largely made out of mafic rocks or sima, which is heavily rich in and primarily iron (which makes sense, considering the stand possesses metals). So I will use the calculation assuming it is iron, then divide the calculation by half to account for any foreign materials that may be within it.

The density of iron is 7.874 g/cm. Assuming it is still 35.64 cubic meters, we would get 280.63 tonnes. Dividing that by two leaves us with 140kg, or still Class K lifting strength.
