content: This specimen is a tympanic bone inside of a bulla, which is located on the inside of the lower jaw of a baleen whale. All sounds will pass through the whale's head and through the fat-filled jawbone into the seashell-like curved bulla to collect and amplify sound. This bone is about 4.5cm thick and measures roughly 12cm x 7cm.
