What is it

1 Attachment(s)

People are guessing dinosaur bone, but doesn't seem to match the record size of any found. It's a 1909 postcard pic. What do you think? Some guess whale, but doesn't appear to be any whale bone. Sort of looks like a femur but the record is 6.5 ft.

I think it is a kind of porous or limestone that over time has formed so that it looks like a bone from a dinosaur It could also be ordinary stone

From my (admittedly ageing) paleontologic background i would identify it as a whale skull.

Then it must be from some prehistoric 'cause I don't think we have whales that huge-yes we have the Blue whale, which is our biggest mammal on our planet.
