I have a carved wood bowl where I keep my unusual rocks and finds. The other day I was looking at the rocks and picked up this one. I remember finding it and bringing it home because of the eroded lines, it was interesting. I ignored it though because I didn't think it was a fossil. I thought it was just eroded sedimentary rock. However, when I re-examined it, I instantly thought of the fossilized whale baleen pictures I had seen on-line. I did a search and the images that came up were from
Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and the fossilized baleen looks similar to mine. This might be baleen fossil. I don't remember what beach I found it on!
