Vertebrae fossil but not sure what kind?

[Travis27]

I found this fossil washed up on the coast of Topsail Island, North Carolina. I've held onto it for a very long time and have not had it properly identified. I think it's belongs to a whale? If so, could someone perhaps tell me what kind and possibly how old?

I'm fascinated by fossils and the history they hold. As a young kid I would pretend to be a paleontologist and would dig up my parents yard. Ha-ha. Still think it's funny how I actually did end up finding one.

Thanks guys!

Welcome to the forum. Looks like a vertebra of a Cetacean

Do you know how old?

How much would you sell this for?

We don't appraise items but it's pretty common and would not sell for much
