I found this small bone yesterday, and I'd like to identify it. Any ideas?
It was found right on the coast, embedded in sticky clay, out of context. I noticed the patch of discoloration in the clay, a rich brown, familiar from the North Sea fossils I'd seen in Holland.
We are leaning toward a marine mammal, but would like your input. What is it? What's your evidence for it?
Please take particular note of the fourth image from the top, showing a series of punches/impressions in the surface of the bone, which I'd like to interpret as predation -- bite marks. Check it out, see what you think.
Incentive? I did mention a prize? Yes sir, I did. The person who correctly identifies this bone (understanding, of course, that I have no clue what it is) wins a roll of duct tape. No kidding, a brand new roll of duct tape, still wrapped in its original packaging.
