[Publius]

But the teeth are not mososaurian (inventing an adjective on the spot.) It does look like an herbivore.

[mware]

Now you know the environmentalist are going to claim he was locked in a glacier somewhere and global warming caused him to melt out of his frozen tomb.

I see no nostrils on the upper mandible at all, and it looks complete.

You can see some canals in the upper part next to the tooth line that look to be nostrils.
My guess is that it was a sea-going creature, if not, amphibious.

I said no Helen photos!!!! :)

[Marius3188]

Still going with a Orca or similar whale.

[Lady Jag]

I'd imagine the legs would have gone; there wasn't much to them.

Lack of Streamlining would be due to the skeletal collapse.

I'm trying to recall photos from long ago of a long dead sea creature that was pulled ashore by fishermen. One of the last reports of the hard to identify creature took into account post mortem occurrences.

[Tijeras_Slim]

From the looks of it, lack of nostrils might not be a bad thing if you were there in person. ;)

Looks like a hoax to me. The teeth just don't look natural.

[BadAndy]

It's NOT Helen Thomas. The snout is too small.

[Arthalion]

Yep, mystery SOLVED! The skull, and apparently the entire body, are the remains of a beluga whale. Beluga's have a lot of fat on them making them appear fat and rounded, but when you strip it away this is what a Beluga skull looks like:



Look familiar? Even the notch in the upper skull is consistent.

[Junior]

Teeth are wrong.

[Invisible Gorilla]

Looks like ambulocetas, the ancestor of all dolphins and whales.

How about the early whale basilosaurus, aka zeuglodon?

[Caipirabob]

VERY INTERESTING!

One interesting read I had was about a particular region in Siberia where mammoths and other ice-age mammels were frequently found. Apparently they were fast-frozen in the ground and seasonal thaws released them from the muck. one documented incident of a mammoth "find" was on the icey banks of a river. The mammoth had surfaced, froze to the banks and then was washed away later before it could be retrieved. I wonder if this might be a similar case of a now extinct species preserved and then washed ashore?

[Names Ash Housewares]

Im sure your right. Seems these kind of storys pop up now and then, only to be learned that it is a well known animal that appears strange to the eye in advanced decomposition. Not unlike Pelosi.

[sonic109]

WOW looks like it to me..What age is that thing from ?

[nina0113]

Now you know the environmentalist are going to claim he was locked in a glacier somewhere and global warming caused him to melt out of his frozen tomb.

I was going to say the increased weight of the ice due to global COOLING caused his chunk of the glacier to break off, float south, and melt.

Bush lied, creature died!
