Mahnmut Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hello MDW86, welcome to the forum. I think it is a whale sternum. Cool! Possibly minke or related.

Boesse Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Whoa, this indeed a baleen whale sternum! I saw the above comment and had my doubts... but that's definitely one! Probably a balaenopterid whale based on the cruciform shape, though I confess I can't remember what a gray whale sternum looks like. Actually, gray whale could be a possibility: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
