Travis27 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I found this fossil washed up on the coast of Topsail Island, North Carolina. I've held onto it for a very long time and have not had it properly identified. I think it's belongs to a whale? If so, could someone perhaps tell me what kind and possibly how old? I'm fascinated by fossils and the history they hold. As a young kid I would pretend to be a paleontologist and would dig up my parents yard. Ha-ha. Still think it's funny how I actually did end up finding one. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 We don't appraise items but it's pretty common and would not sell for much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
