Mudduck Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Charleston, SC find. I know that it is a vertebrae but I don't know what it is. I have some whale vertebrae but looks nothing like this one. It is 3.6 inches accross (at it's widest point) and 1.7 inches thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefootgirl Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Dolphin perhaps? In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

richardfulton Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Bear in mind that cetacean bones can appear quite different, depending on their placement in the vertebral chain. If I recall correctly, the neck vertebra tend to be thinner than the back and tail vertebra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
