Rabbit 0 Posted January 14 We found this specimen today on the beach at Chincoteague Island, Virginia, USA. It's about 25 cm long and has a spongy looking interior. My first thought on seeing on the beach from far away was that it was a fin. Some edges are smooth suggesting that shape. But up close it's hard as a rock. Anyone know what this is?

Rabbit 0 Posted January 14 Thanks! Looks like I was on the right track. I had someone suggest a transverse process from a whale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
