I took the kids down to the beach at low tide today, and the strong winds earlier today at high tide had shifted the gravel beds pretty significantly, exposing a stretch of the Blakeley formation that's usually covered up. These immediately caught my eye as a possible vertebrate skeleton, but I don't really have any experience identifying fossil bones. I don't want to call this one in to the local paleontologist authorities unless that's what it is. I'll attach what I can here and a few more photos in thread.

I'm becoming a habitual "is this wood" poster... I found this one yesterday on the shores of Lake Washington near an outcrop of the Blakeley formation, and just polished one face using sandpaper. Specimen measures 1.5 inches in the longest dimension and the polished face measures 1 inch x 1 inch. SG is 2.48 by suspension method, +/- 0.01g accuracy. The lighter spot on the polished face is where I got lazy before removing the entire weathered surface.
