Very confusing. Edited January 19, 2022 by Al Dente Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture shows the curve on it, hopefully this helps I'm not seeing that the item pictured above is the same as the one highlighted below. The item highlighted in red definitely looks similar to the cetacean humerus images provided by @Al Dente. I'm not sure where the other object came from as I don't see it in the initial layout of finds. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the top, it gives the illusion in the picture that it is straight, but in reality it is curved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 We need to see all sides of the bone - top, bottom, left, right, front, back. Camera should be directly above the item, not at an oblique angle.

digit Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Choose a side and rotate for 4 views with 90 degree rotation. Cheers. -Ken 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 OK, I didn’t read this discussion closely enough. After rereading I see that these are two different views of the same fossil. If that is the case, then I agree that it can’t be a humerus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is one of my more interesting shaped bones I have in my collection. Sorry for not getting the new pictures. Its kinda just been a chaotic week... I'm cycling an aquarium rn and its been a mess. So fossils have been on the back burner lately. Although last night my ADHD made me stay up and organize all my rocks and fossils from 8pm all the way to 12:30AM LOL. So as you can see my brain loves to randomly do things when I'm bored so when I say that my week is or has been "busy", I basically mean that my brain decided to forget about taking pictures and ping ponged me around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky998 Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Alright, finally found some time to get a lot of pictures from different angles... I tried my best on em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Thanks for the additional pictures. I’m thinking this is a piece from a process coming off of a whale vertebra, something similar to what is attached to this whale centrum from this website-https://ask2.extension.org/kb/faq.php?id=494048 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
