Paleofreak Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 The first one looks like a worn growth plate from a whale vert. I have one that is about that size and looks like a chocolate cookie. The second one looks like a ear bone of a porpoise or whale. As for the third one......its a bone probably in the "arm/hand" of a whale my money is on a humorous, radius, or ulna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I think the first one is a worn ray dermal denticle. I agree with the others that the second is a whale tympanic bulla. The third specimen looks like a toe bone of a terrestrial mammal. I think it belongs to a large ground sloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
