I found this petrosal on a South Carolina beach near Charleston. I would love to know the animal it belonged to. Is it cetacean @Boesse by any chance?

Thanks for looking. Scale is CM.

This is actually from a land mammal! My suspicion is horse, based on similar specimens found by Ashby Gale. I'm guessing this is from Edisto.

Thanks so much, and yes, it is an Edisto find. I have labeled it as 'probable equus'.
