Whale Bones?

[Capuzzi2]

New member. Hi.

Found these chunks of probable whale bone on a sod bank along the Chesapeake in Kilmarnock Va. The one on the right is a rib base. The other two might be shoulder or pelvic girdle bones.

Welcome to TFF from Virginia!

Congrats on the very interesting finds.

The bone on the left looks to be a skull element from a whale. Maybe a fragment of a squamosal  or frontal bone? In the region you mentioned, they are likely from the Miocene or later.

The bones on the right are intriguing. It would be useful to have larger, clearer pictures from several different angles.

Thanks. I though I posted this on the "trips" page. I will add some better pics.
