digit Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The forum software asks for keywords when you post. Many new members don't know that us old timers don't often look for information in the keywords at the very top of the screen which is why it important to repeat that information in the body of the text. The more information given the better the quality of the replies. I myself would like to see other views of this large (non-shark-tooth) object from different angles. The texture could be bone but I've seen weathered limestone caprock that has this texture as well. There might be some bilateral symmetry on this object (which would favor a large vertebra diagnosis) or it may be irregular when viewed from other angles which would put me in the weathered caprock camp. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPrice Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 A few more photos would be helpful. I recall finding something like this on the Atlantic coast, maybe near Wilmington, NC long ago. By long ago ...like 20-30 years ago. Seems like it was compacted sand and could be easily eroded by rubbing it. I just tossed it aside as it did not appear to have any recognizable shape to me.

shark57 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) It looks like a somewhat worn cetacean caudal vertebra to me. Edited February 17 by shark57 Added a word. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 More photos would be welcome, but sea tossed cetacean bone seems a good fit for now, and likely modern. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I think cetacean bone as well. Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Thanks for the other views. Definite (eroded) bone texture and symmetry. I agree with the others that it appears to be a cetacean vert. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
