FOSSIL WHALE INNER EAR BONE 02
We do have a Fossil Whale Inner Ear Bone 02 for sale, some pics of this specimen on this page. They seem to have been of denser bone than the rest of the whale skeleton, so they were better preserved. The auditory bulla is a bony cover for the delicate middle ear bones and tissues. In humans it is part of our temporal bone. Whales have several adaptations in their ears for hearing underwater. Tympanic bone.
