Unknown fossils found on Florida beach

[Robin Litrico]

Hello everyone. I found these fossils on different days at the same north Florida beach. They appear to be the same type of bone, but I’m not sure what they are. Has anyone else found one of these or do you know what animal it is from? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Robin, it appears to be a fragment of a cetacean skull, but I’m not certain. The texture in the second image looks like sutures that you would see in a whale or dolphin skull.

Best,

Victor

Thanks for giving me a starting point Victor. My husband and I enjoyed meeting you at the dig Monday and can’t wait until our next volunteer day!
