richardfulton Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Looks like tail vertebra. Find a nice shot of a cetacean skeleton and you can usually figure out whether the vertebra was neck, body or tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Odontocete caudal vertebra. Seals have much more 'complex' looking vertebrae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
