This is so cool! I have a very similar bone that my uncle found on a beach in Mexico! This looks to be a rib bone from some kind of aquatic turtle! Perhaps you could do a little research on what kind of turtles frequent the waters around VA! Maybe then you can narrow down a specie!

Please also consider adding this to the "Identifying Animals Through Osteology Mission". http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8475... Maybe some there will be able to give you an ID!
