Northern Neck Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hey guys, little help on these 2 pieces of bone. Ones a simple vert that's broke in half. Woulda been really nice. About 2.5 inches across. Any ideas? Shark? Dolphin? Other big slab of bone that's got 2 ridges that I can tell on the outer side. Whale? Some other sort of animal? It's about 5.5 inches long and 4 wide. Found in the Potomac if that matters on Virginia side. Tons of small bone and teeth but just curious what these may have belonged too. Any help greatly appreciated and thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahnmut Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi, the first one looks whalish to me, or at least mammal- like, not like shark, but hard to tell as worn as it is.

cck Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 First is part of a cetacean epiphysis or ‘cookie’, second has characteristics of a worn vertebra I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
