Hello all! Sorry for the not-so-great photos here. My phone camera is... kind of a fossil. I found this mystery fossil on the beach in North Carolina, USA, somewhere near Emerald Isle if I'm recalling correctly. My best guess is that it's a periotic bone from a dolphin, porpoise, or something of the like, but it doesn't totally match up with images I've seen. I've also considered that it could be a ballast bone, but again, hard to confirm via Google search. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I have a difficult time telling what these are. I have a book where it shows very similar shaped items labeled as dermal scoots for crocodiles, eagle ray, or fish ballast bones. I'm wondering if anyone can help me narrow it down. Thanks in advance for all the great advice!
