Emily F Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hi! My mom brought me this back from the Bristol Bay Area in Alaska, and wanted to know if it was some sort of whale bone, or just a funny shaped rock. Texture is fairly porous on the elongated portion and more dense on the bulbous bit. Found on a coastal beach on Bristol bay. Measures around 6.5 by 11cm at its widest point. Thank you for the help!

Shellseeker Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Figured you deserved at least one answer.... I do not know, and I think not, but I once found the proximal end of a whale rib... and it had some similarities.. Now if you had to imagine what is the largest proximal end of a Blue Whale rib.... it would be lots bigger than this one. Maybe @Boesse has seen that biggest possible rib....

Emily F Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thank you @Shellseeker! I’m just a big a fan of cool shaped rocks as anything else, so I’m not bummed if it isn’t any sort of bone. Thanks for the information! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
