Rowboater Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Found a weird little bone, 5 cm by 3 cm. Three major points (though two could be to the same joint?) @Boesse Seems heavy for its size (but washed up on the beach, could be modern?) Curious what it could be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Nice find! That is a calcaneum (heel bone) of a phocid seal. Sometimes identifiable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
