IsaacTheFossilMan Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Whale, by the looks of it; possibly sperm. Would you be able to post clear, hands-free photos of it from all sides?

I also think you have whale... possibly a caudal (tail) vertebra. 1) You should search the internet and get a feeling for what they look like when not as worn as yours. 2) You should specify measurements , preferably in millimeters or centimeters. The discussion is Do you have whale? or Do your have dolphin ? Whale verts are mostly bigger. I am not sure I could tell the difference between a Sperm Whale Caudal Vertebra and a Baleen Whale Caudal Vertebra. The most likely candidate for Sperm whale in the Peace River is Kogiopsis .sp 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
