khercamp Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 My wife and I were walking on Crooked Island beach, just west of Mexico Beach, Florida, and about 30 miles east of Panama City Beach. We were looking for shells and found this bone about 10 feet off the beach in the water. It is heavy and grainy. I am sure it is a bone of some sort but not sure exactly what. I'll post more pictures of the bone next to a ruler when I get home. I am just curious to see if anyone has any idea what it could be. I've never found a bone in the ocean and don't know much about them. If anyone is able to help me identify this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Auspex Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It might just be the shape it is warn to, but my first impression is that of a broken off vertebral process (from a big mammal; whale, maybe).

RichW9090 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'm thinking Auspex has it. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khercamp Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Thanks a lot everyone. I appreciate the responses. I'll definitely be holding onto it since I do not have anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
