I need some ID help with this matched pair of elements. They were
recovered from a fishing net in about 12 m of water, in Puget Sound. I
think they are from a large cartilaginous fish, but I don't have a clue as
to what element they might be, or what species.
They are completely hollow, with a wall thickness of about 3 mm, ossified
cartilage.
