How exciting !
I'd love to know where it came from .
I also love sea glass and am interested to know of a couple of sources in the UK .

…on the NE coast of America, where we’re visiting my sister. Having googled we think it could be from a Minke whale, which are seen in the area.*
There was a whole 4 foot-ish section of backbone washed up - partly covered with gunk - this was one of a few separate vertebrae so I took one to show the Gdcs at home.
*there are also Great White sharks - graphic warning signs up at a beach where we’ve swum in the past ? - but we thought this vertebra looked a lot more mammalian than fishy, so to speak.
BTW, for anyone interested, this was the section of spine we found - sister’s foot is there for scale.
There were some separate vertebrae washed up - it was one of those that I took.
(I don’t know why the image has come out sideways!)
