Kimi64 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I went hunting on Sunday at Flag Ponds & found this interesting, probable Cetacean bone. I would appreciate your help with an ID, of what body part, if possible. The piece is about 7.25 cm long & 5 cm wide. The hole is big enough to hold a sharpened pencil. Thanks for looking.

fifbrindacier Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hi, is it in Virginia ? Do you know what is the geologic age ? I imagine one can find some cetacean bones here.

Kimi64 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Sorry, I should have said I assume it is Cetacean, but I would like to know what body part. Unrelated, I saw a Cetacean vertebrae on Saturday that had the cookie with it. First time I have seen that. It was found at Brownie's Beach, north of Flag Ponds.

The point is to determine from which part and, if it can be a more recent bone than Miocene. Does it feel heavy according to its size ?

Two years of hunting 2-3 weekends a month & posting/reading here has given me the confidence to say that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Cetacean bone for sure, need more pictures to determine which part assuming there is enough to do so. I’m guessing vertebra fragment. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
