Lissaz Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Found in the same area on beach in South Carolina. I'm thinking a vertebrae of some sort? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeargleSchmeargl Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 100% agree with vertebrae. Probably whale. Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The one on the left looks like a cetatean tail vert, not sure on the other one. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

caldigger Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'll go with dolphin on the left and Tapir on the right, but don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronzviking Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 One on the left could be a highly mineralized shark or fish vertebrae. One on the right looks too small to be a whale vert, but too worn for to ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The left one is cetacean. The heart shape of the one on the right reminds me of dugong but there are probably other mammals that have heart shaped vertebrae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bones Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The one on the right resembles this one from a S.C. beach. It was ID'd as manatee. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/88761-october-2018-finds-of-the-month-entries/&page=3&tab=comments#comment-977067 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
