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

kind regards

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?!

When you have eliminated the impossible, that which remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Once you've got heat, you can do everything!

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.
