Help ID possible piece of Whale? Vertebra? Bone? found in San Pedro


ADURAN

Recommended Posts

Went out again this past weekend to try to find more pieces to the large fossil I found in San Pedro and found what I believe (taking the wildest of guesses) may be a piece of a Whale Vertebra? Not sure this is considered a fossil but thought I'd ask all the more educated (than me) individuals on this forum. :) Since y'all are the experts!

Thanks again in advance for any input.  

(If these photos are too dark I can post better ones later.)

It looks like whale vert to me but I'm not so sure it is fossilized.  It looks modern to me.

Yeah I think you're correct I don't think it's a fossil it's actual bone :) 

Yes this is a beach find, I've been finding so much on the beach in this area, it's pretty amazing!
 

Thanks so much!

It's super amazing! I have a collection of various bones including a horse skull and entire horse vertebrae which I found out in a field in New Mexico! So definitely adding this guy to the collection! :)

Thanks so much

Juvenile whale caudal vertebra, almost certainly modern.
