Hey everybody, I'm on vacation at the outer banks, North Carolina and I've just found this vertebrae, but im not sure what animal it is from or even if it is fossilized, if anyone could give more insight it would be greatly appreciated, and i could post more pics upon request.

I would feel fairly confident in saying it's the cervical vertebrae of a medium sized mammal of some sort. 

Given the location, perhaps a marine mammal of some kind like a seal or something?

This might be a C6 cervical vertebra of a seal.
