Good morning all,

I have found a number of fossil bones over the years that look remarkably similar, yet I have no idea what the are. The most common physical attribute is a wedge shape with an almost triangle shaped indentation on one side. The fossils in the photos were found in the Cooper River in SC, which has fossils from many eras. I have found very similar bones 30 miles offshore in North Carolina in 110' of water, which leads me to think whale? I will be the first to acknowledge that they are of varying size (from 6" to over 12") and could be from completely different types of animals. I understand positive ID is likely difficult. I'm just eager to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!!

It looks way more like bone than the 3 you have it sitting with. Small and very worn so as you said, difficult to ID.
