Fossil vertebra

[ribbo]

Hello everyone,  I'm new to the forum.

I found a fossil vertebra on Trimmingham beach this morning...( North  Norfolk  UK). ..and wonder if any members could tell me what mammal this could possibly be from by the attached photos.

Thanks

From what I have read online, that area contains deposits from the Lower/Middle Pleistocene.

Wait for some other members to chime in with some ID.

It's big enough that I think with that age constraint it can only be a whale.

Thanks all. I've now managed to get a positive I.d. from an osteologist..who confirms its a fossil whale vertebrae (caudal vertebra(tail end)).
