Fantastic Fossil Find - Large articulated vertebrae and some acid prepping

I head out early in the morning to go explore a beach that has some really good Miocene era fossils. My first find of the day is amazing, a large concretion containing some articulated vertebrae. I suspect it's cetacean, possible a large dolphin or juvenile whale.
I try my hand at some acid prepping, I still have much to learn! It's a slow, careful process and I am waiting for my PH meter to arrive so I can be a bit more confident that I have the right strength acid at any time.
The nice crab I found is now in the collection of a young fossil hunter I met on the beach, hopefully it's the first of many cool fossils he will collect.
