Wynand Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Picked up on beach along with numerous whale verts and bones. Very dense & heavy, with defined (yet worn) ends. Closest match I could find is a dolphin humerus... Any ideas are welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
