Flag Ponds - New find

[Kimi64]

I went hunting on Sunday at Flag Ponds & found this interesting, probable Cetacean bone. I would appreciate your help with an ID, of what body part, if possible. The piece is about 7.25 cm long & 5 cm wide. The hole is big enough to hold a sharpened pencil. Thanks for looking.

Probably Cetacean.

Hi, is it in Virginia ? Do you know what is the geologic age ?

I imagine one can find some cetacean bones here.

Flag Ponds is in Maryland. It's a Miocene formation of which ages vary, but rough middle 12 million?

Sorry, I should have said I assume it is Cetacean, but I would like to know what body part. 

 

Unrelated, I saw a Cetacean vertebrae on Saturday that had the cookie with it. First time I have seen that. It was found at Brownie's Beach, north of Flag Ponds.

I didn't saw your post, but i agree, with cetacean bone. The point is to determine from which part and, if it can be a more recent bone than Miocene.

Does it feel heavy according to its size ?

I have zero doubt that it is fossilized bone. Two years of hunting 2-3 weekends a month & posting/reading  here has given me the confidence to say that.

Cetacean bone for sure, need more pictures to determine which part assuming there is enough to do so. I’m guessing vertebra fragment.
