Shaneyadav Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I found this fossil in Santa Cruz and don’t know what part of whale this is. Thank you all so much. The photos are the one I’m not so sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricWonders Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I’m not sure what it is or if anyone prepares stuff in CA, but I’d love to prep, I don’t know if you would want me to though cause I’m pretty new to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneyadav Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 I found this price of bone in Santa Cruz, California which is part of the Purisima formation. I believe it to be whale bone I just don’t know what part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Can you please post pics from different angles? Maybe some close-ups of the texture as well. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 This is a lumbar vertebra of a large baleen whale, quite common at that locality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
