cowgirlfossils Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) My friend found this on her first trip to the pit in about 5 minutes! Beginners luck! Could this be dolphin or?

Boesse Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Definitely cetacean, although this would be a rather large odontocete; there are early pilot whales and beluga relatives in the Pliocene of California, as well as a small and poorly known sperm whale. However, there are also dwarf baleen whales (Herpetocetus) that have vertebrae in this size range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
