Fossil of Juvenile Cetacean Caudal Vertebrae

myminifactory

This is a Caudal Vertebrae from an Ancient Cetacean. The animal was a juvenile because the epiphysis is missing. This fossil is likely between 5-7 million years old. It was found along the banks of the Siret River in Botosani County, Romania, by Gavriliuc Emanuel, Radiology Imaging Specialist at Spitalul Hospital in Botosani. Credit goes to Gavriliuc Emanuel (Thingiverse ID emi83ro), who provided the CT scan. The fossil is approximately 1 inch long and would be best printed at a resolution of 200% or using an SLA printer.
