Tag Archives: large bone washed up on Manchester State Beach

Don Phillips regularly patrols the beach at Manchester State Park, picking up trash tossed up by the ocean. Occasionally he finds a treasure. He believes these bones are the humerus, radius, and ulna of a whale.

Don is planning on offering this find to a nearby college for further study. Mel Smith took these photos and I thank him for allowing me to share them here.
