Cam28 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Assumed it was whale ear bone when I found it earlier this year (Peace river) but can't seem to find a match. Only about 1.25 inches long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I agree with the others. Maybe @Boesse can name that whale? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Some kind of toothed whale - ID to family level is not possible here, since it's not a periotic. It is possibly a member of the Delphinida (the group of odontocetes not including beaked & sperm whales) but I can't tell from the photos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
