Hello, Thanks for the add to the group.I found what I thought, or think could be petrified wood in Lower South Texas close to the border on some property i own. When I researched what it could be, the closest match was Whale or Mastadon bone. I'm not sure what it could be so any help would be great thanks!

Not an expert in fossil verification. I am a fisherman and found this in the nets. Can anybody tell me whether this is a whale fossil or perhaps something else and what species of whale.

Could someone explain why there would be remains of shark food (whales, seals, large fish) but no evidence of sharks? I am sure there is a scientific reason why but for the life of me I can't figure out why a beluga whale could swim into the Champlain Sea 13,000 years ago and a shark didn't follow it in. Thanks in advance for the information!

Found this whale bone in Fort Bragg, CA . Two questions 1) Is it a Fossil? 2) Can you legally sell whale bones in the US?
