These are all from the Sooke Fm, southern Vancouver Isl . I previously found cetacean vertebrae at this locality (see thread at http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php/topic/29164-cenozoic-vert/). Here are some new finds, with my guesses (I stress these are uneducated guesses) at what they might be: The first is a centrum (shark?) approx 2 inches in diameter: The next two pics were found beside one another (less than 2 inches apart); the first appears to be a scapula (poorly preserved) while the second appears to be an atlas vertebra, possibly from a small cetacean? : This last one has me completely stumped. Small shore-line mammals have been found here in the past, as well as cetaceans and desmostylus. The only thing I can find online that looks even remotely like this is a cetacean "earbone" - could this be a fragment of one? : Maybe Boesse will see this and weigh in. Any help anyone can give me would be much appreciated. Lastly, if anyone has a copy of The Fauna of the Sooke Formation (Clark & Arnold, 1923) and a link they can post, I'd sure appreciate it. I can't seem to get my hands on a copy of that paper. Thanks everyone for looking. Cheers Steve
