Bone ID

[scottpix]

Found this on the beach last week on the east coast of Scotland.
Front

Rear

Its about 4 inch x 3 inch, I know its a pelvis but don`t know from what animal, I have done loads of image searches but cant find anything close to this, most of the bones I viewed don`t have the left and right pointed bone shaped like this one, I thought maybe Lamb but checked it out, and it looks different.
Hopefully the good people of the forum can id this for me.

Many Thanks

Very interesting! I don't know but it would be cool if it was a marine mamal...

I could be wrong and often am, but I think that could very a vertebrae rather than pelvis

Could well be from a dolphin spine, it's certainly well worn looking at the extremities.

Oh, the other thing is the orientation of the bone is upside down in your pictures by the way

Definitely a spinal vertebra and not a pelvis, but not sure what from. What dimensions?

I'm rarely certain about bones; just not my thing.

However, if you go to the Natural History Museum website, they have an ID section and you can post a photograph there and ask if someone can identify it for you.

Then you might come back and let the rest of us know too
