WHALE BONE - PLIOCENE, RED CRAG, SUFFOLK.

Whale - indeterminate.

Very strange looking heavily mineralised bone. One surface shows a series of parallel grooves and ridges.  Most likely part of the skull from a whale but it might be from a vertebra or the shoulder / pelvic girdle bones. really weird looking bone altogether.

Pliocene, Red Crag.
Bawdsey, Cliffs, Suffolk.

Bone : 10.5 x 7 x 4 cm.
