3-Cetacean CookiesEpiphysis disk - "Cookie"
Epiphysis are often found at the calvert cliffs. They are soft cartilaginous ends on a bone.
As the animal ages, the cartilage epiphysis ossify into bone and fuse onto the bone ends. If the animal dies while still a juvenile, the epiphysis are not yet fused and often fall off the bone and can be found as isolated fossils.
Vertebral centrum epiphysis are the most commonly found epiphysis. They are kind of like end caps on the vertebra that ossify as the animal ages. The Invertebral disc (cushioning pad) would sandwich between these.
Epiphysis from vertebrae are thin, round, and look like a cookie, hence the nickname. Vertebral centrum epiphysis disks from juvenile cetacea vertebrae are usually 1/2 - 3 inches across, but due to their thinness, are often found broken.
