If you found that at Yorktown on the beach, probably a whale's vertebrae. Miocene era maybe 4 to 15 million years old possibly a little more. There's much older fossil shells on some of the Rev War trenches (I'm assuming source is local but never ran it to ground) and some marl in the area - in fact a church made of marl. Never know what you'll find on those beaches.
