justinb Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 6 inch vertebra found in Peace River believe it is a whale? Just wanted some opinions its pretty beat up and any other view makes it look like a rock. Thanks justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I do not think that it is whale -- but certainly marine mammal and my best guess is dudong. Definitely on Megalodon's dinner menu.

worthy 55 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 How thick is it? Looks kind of like a very worn proboscidean vert? It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinb Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Around 2 1/4 inches thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinb Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 It worn and it makes it hard to take pictures certain angles it looks like a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It's definitely not a sea cow vertebra... sea cows usually have heart shaped vertebral centra. There's nothing here preserved that would preclude identification as a baleen whale - but then again, I am unfamiliar with proboscideans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
