I collected this bone earlier this week in an outcrop of the Calvert Formation (Early-Middle Miocene) in Maryland. I found several vertebrae in close proximity to each other that I have tentatively identified as dolphin. I will share them after I finish cleaning and prepping them. Next to one vertebra was this mystery bone. Any idea what it could be? Maybe part of the dolphin sternum? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New to the forum. Also fairly new to fossils. Been into gemstone and rockhunting for a while but haven't gotten too into fossils til recently for some reason, but I'm here now

Took advantage of the great weather yesterday to drive over to Western Maryland to explore some well-known sites for the first time and had a successful day! Our first stop was at an apparent Late Devonian locality outside of Flintstone where we found nothing except an interesting trackway, which I believe is Pteridichnites biseriatus, made by a brittle star. Otherwise we found absolutely no fossiliferous rock at the site, which is Locality 33 in Fossil Collecting in the Mid-Atlantic States. It's possible the site has been altered/destroyed by roadwork in the ~30 years since the book was written, but if anyone else has given it a try and has had more luck, please let me know! Always possible we were simply in the wrong spot since the directions are bit difficult. Our second stop was a Middle Silurian locality outside of Cumberland, MD where we had vastly more success and that also happens to be about as scenic as roadcuts get with the blooming dogwood trees. We found numerous nautiloid fragments, including one fairly massive one that was also very well preserved and that I managed to get out the rock in good shape (it only broke 4 times!). We also found some lovely brachiopods preserved in a silvery black color and a few large, round corals that are well preserved. We only spent about an hour, but will certainly return.
