Look like it's a vertebra from a Dolphin or a Whale. Nice found!

The first is indeed a vertebra of a whale species most likely to be a small whale.
The other one is the 3rd toebone (phalange) from (according to its size) a large Bovine species. In your area most likely to be the Kafferbuffel?!

Hello Stone,

Is´nt it the second phalange? The third is the one with the nail.

Best wishes, Vilmar

I ment the phalange which is articulating with the metapode.
So its either the 1st or 3rd phalange out of the 3 phalanges.
