J.D. Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Found this in the water near the fossil beach of Westmoreland State Park in Va. Seems like a whale / dolphin bone, but what part? Is it a vert piece? As always, thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.D. Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 Here’s a pic with it dried a bit. Just a weirdo shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 This one is a partial squamosal bone from the skull of a small baleen whale or, possibly Squalodon - much more likely to be the former. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
