Marine vertebrate from Burdigalian deposits

Recommended Posts

Can somebody help identify this fossil? Are these vertebrae from a marine mammal? If so, which one?

This was found in a quarry in Miocene deposits in southern France.

Size???

What fossils are normally found at the quarry?

 

These probably need to be prepped out of the surrounding matrix to identify  further.

 

Or better pictures need to be taken.

 

Cropped, rotated, and brightened:
