It is somewhat reminiscent of the entombed found in Pompeii, where all that remains is that which led to their demise. Cheers, and keep away from that Mako...we all have an inner fish...and it doesn't want to get eaten!<BR/><BR/>Dietrich.Deterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495645042512311186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063983647864969697.post-57269421774437293262008-02-07T11:52:00.000-08:002008-02-07T11:52:00.000-08:00Your findings are amazing to read about.

I would think that they, of all creatures, should be collectors of debris in the water. When whales beach or are killed, have the contents of their stomachs been examined for the kind of thing that you are finding? If the innards of seabirds can contain bottle caps, I can only imagine what a whale might ingest.Clif Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561437041148734569noreply@blogger.com
