glenmorenee Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Just a casual question on whether this might be a fossil or not. Found at an estate sale. Seems to be a vertebrae of some kind or just some rock coincidentally pentagonal in shape. Cube is 1". Best to all you diggers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 This looks like a possible cetecean vertebra.

thelivingdead531 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The third and fourth photo look like it may be a vert, but I’m far from an expert so I’d wait until a more knowledgeable person comes along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Definitely a vertebra. Not sure from what. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Agree with Tim. Looks like a whale vert. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

Ludwigia Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'll go for whale vert too. My God @Tidgy's Dad ! How many hats do you have? And how dare you hazard a guess when you can't even see anything? 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Another vote for whale vert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.N.FossilmanLithuania Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Yeah it is big whale vert and jundging by good mineralisation I would say it is Eocene/Oligocene cetacean. Best Regards Domas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
