Dugong ribs are very likely the most common fossils found in the Peace River (2nd behind shark teeth). But you do not see them in South Carolina.... Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the correction @Meganeura and @Shellseeker! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I collected a drawer full when I first started… now I’ll only keep it if it’s a very very complete rib. Which I haven’t yet found. Link to post Share on other sites
debivort Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 There are definitely dugong bones in SC. I collect enough on the most recent trip to make a wind chime out of them. Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Lover Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 You're right @debivort, the ones in SC that I am thinking of are dugong, not whale. I need to just stop responding to this thread, since I have been wrong every time I've opened my mouth. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
