Is this just another megamouth carcass?
I used the forum search and came up with other carcasses but not this pic. If it has been brought up here then sorry, guess i dont look hard enough.

What do you guys think?

yeah...i think so

maybe a type of sea animal like a sealion or something...doesnt look like a shark or dolphin...also the 2-3 weeks decompositon has left the carcass in too bad a state to leave any distiguising marks and characteristics.

megamouth

saying that...u nvr know do u...but i doubt its an alien or weird mutant creature.

I say its a basking shark that has been badly decomposed. They look just like that when they rot it looks like some creature with a long neck and a little head.

Either some sort of water animal or a blanket that has been through the furnace.

Its way to decomposed to make a definitive call from this one pic. NOT a dinosaur though.

I don't think it's a dino either. I do hover agree it is probably a shark.


Blanket in a furnace works though. heheh

I am 98% sure he is right. I believe this pic has been talked about before and ided as a basking shark.

It looks just like the rotting sealions I've seen on the beach here.

My theory is a decomposed walrus

It has good sized eye sockets, and is that a nostril area in the front?
If so, then it's no shark, or fish period.

I'm leanig towards a walrus or elephant seal now....

You might want to check the tail and dorsal fins on this thing.

Its not an aquatic mamal. Rule out seals, sealions, sea elephants and the likes.

Dorsal and tailfin show its a shark. The long neck/small head/big eyesocet look of the thing is just the wierd look it gets when so decomposed.

This a very, very old photo. It is a basking shark 100%
