racerzeke Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hello all! I have what I believe to be a bone fragment from the Calvert Cliffs area of Maryland. I tried to compare to various vertebrae and other bones online but considering this is a fragment I didn't have too much luck and figured the experts around here might help! "Rear" face: "Top:" "Bottom:" "Front" face: I could be mistaken but it just has the weight and feel of something other than wood or whatnot. There is quite a bit of gunk still on it that I will try to work off. The groove on the front and the "wings" definitely make me think it is a bone of some kind. Thanks again!

Al Dente Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Looks like a cetacean vertebra. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I agree with a cetacean vertebra. I found some similar in Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.N.FossilmanLithuania Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It is the main body of vertebra, probably whale or dolphin. Cenozoic in age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
