Snaggletooth19 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hi all. I found this fragment in the surf at Westmoreland State Park, VA, which is part of the Horsehead Cliffs formation. I believe it's part of the miocene as the Calvert Cliffs are. I was just wondering if we think this might be a bone fragment? It looks like it has that spongy appearance of trabeculae. The fragment is just under 2 inches long (4.5 cm) and 3/8 inch wide (about 1cm). It's extremely flat on one side, very irregular and somewhat porous on the other. Vertebra, ribs, skull, perhaps from some marine mammal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I think you have said it very well already. Yes it's bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
