Capitola Beach fossils. The rocks they preserve in are called concretions, which are harder than the rock around them. The bluffs erode but the fossils don't

Oh I love Capitola. I've never seen the whale bones though. Just the shells. I used to have an almost complete clam fossil. Wonder whatever happened to that.

Nice rocks. Maybe a short beaked whale skull? You have the spine and pelvis there so that's a good guess.
