Hi, recently i received a package from @Shamalama with fossils from Aurora, North Carolina. Some weren't labelled and i couldn't find out to who they belonged.

1) a vertebra

3 cm width 2 cm hight

 

2)That piece of a little less than 4 cm hight and 2 cm width

 

3) That piece of skull or only of jaw of about 2.5 cm hight and 1.8 cm width:

 

4)That brachiopod, maybe a Plicatoria wilmingtonensis according to Dave. 3.5 cm hight and about 2 cm width and thickness :

I agree with the brachiopod id. 

Lovely.

Number 1 is probably Cetacean.

Number 2 is part of a shark rostral node.

Number 3 is part of a fish skull.

Number 4 (Plicatoria wilmingtonensis) is not from Aurora but is from the Eocene Castle Hayne Formation.

Maybe 2) is a part of a shark rostrum and 1) is a vertebra of cetacean ?

Thank you @Al Dente. My guesses about 1 and 2  were good ones then.

I have a Whale vertebra from this location, and this definitely looks to be a piece of one.
