PSchleis Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Found on Myrtle Beach. I'm thinking this is some sort of whale bone, perhaps rib. Agree? And I don't want to read too much into cracks in this bone, but could they be shark bites? Thanks! - Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Dont looks like damage before fossilization for me... I think its some cracks that occured during or after fossilization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I agree, these are not bite marks, but rather naturally occurring cracks. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Pemphix Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 As already said: no bitemarks. See example of bite-marks here: https://www.wissenschaft.de/astronomie-physik/hai-beisst-wal-vor-ein-paar-millionen-jahren/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSchleis Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thanks! After seeing other samples, I can see where these cracks look "fresh" - relatively speaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
