old bones Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I found my first Whale bulla on a Carolina beach. I would love to know what kind of whale it is from. @Boesse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Sorry for being AWOL! This is a Pliocene or Pleistocene specimen and probably from the dwarf right whale Balaenula, though depending upon how fragmented it is it could be from a "keeled bulla" balaenopterid like "Balaenoptera" borealina. Nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice find! Thank you so much for taking the time to have a look at my finds Bobby! I am very pleased to be able to be able to narrow down the ID to a couple of possibilities. Now I am off to learn more about these whales... Julianna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
