So I've had this guy for almost a year, this being one of the whale bones I've gotten from Summerville, SC. With its odd shape, I've been puzzled as to what bone in the whale it was:

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

Part of a jugal bone perhaps?

Maybe.

Seems awfully small for whale, though. :unsure:

Just guessing here, but could it be part of a pelvic bone?

Hard to find good reference material, but it does have that flat triangular, stretched-out look from what i can see..

 

Like these ones quickly googled: Google
