Petrified Whale Bone

These are some of the amazing pieces of petrified whale bone I have found. As you can see the cell structure is very different in these fossils. I'm not a geologist or a paleontologist but I would love to know what types of whales these came from. For lack of a better term I call the type closest to the camera "the brain." This is exactly what they look like when I find them at the beach. These particular one's came from California but I'd keep my eye out at any beach. You never what you might find. Whether it's pirate treasure or a sand dollar, you'll probably find something interesting. Here is a slightly larger piece of whalebone with a partially made ring on top of it. Most of the pieces I find are pretty small, so you have to have a keen eye. The largest one I found is about the size of a baseball. You may have noticed some of these agates in the picture with the ring. They are called "oil agate" and they come from the very same beach. I've spent countless hours scouring the beaches for gemstones and fossils. Makes me miss living closer to the coast. My favorite one's have little dark spots inside that remind me of Montana Agate. When you find them they look like they are freshly polished in a rock tumbler. Glad I don't have to wait a million years when I'm polishing rocks. The ocean has a bit more patience than I do apparently.
