Biologists are struggling to identify the decomposing carcass of what appears to be a “sea monster” in Villaricos, Spain. According to [URL="http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/nature/post/mysterious-horned-sea-monster-washes-ashore-in-spain/"]grindtv.com[/URL], a woman swimming along the shoreline of Luis Siret Beach first found the head of the creature, adorned with what appeared to be two roughly symmetrical horns. The swimmer then discovered the rest of the animal a short distance away, which was retrieved and buried by local authorities due to worries that the carcass could present a hygiene issue.
Digital Journal reports that scientists from the Programa en Defensa de la Fauna Marina (PROMAR) are trying to gain access to the remains for study. Although photos of the carcass are being circulated among researchers, DNA analysis remains the best bet.

Damn, nature. You scary. The deep sea will never fail to amaze me.
Can we feed them the GOP so we can keep them going?

Looks like a large decomposed Oarfish to me:

I found a bigger version of one of the images:

That thing is ridiculous.
Imagine swimming in the ocean. It's a nice day. The sun is shining. A couple of white, fluffy clouds pass over head as you lie on your back, caressed by the waves. You've been swimming for about a half an hour and just as you are about to get out, you feel something brush against your leg. You look down, and see [I]that fucking thing swimming past you[/I].

Fixed
So nobody took closer pictures of the horns?

Looks like a decomposed oarfish that someone layed some kind of animal horns near by.
It's probably another hoax.
Every time I get excited about these kinds of things it's always later revealed to have been a hoax...

According to some sources it's actually a shark skeleton (Maybe a Thresher Shark), the horns actually being the cartilaginous "pectoral girdle"

It's probably an oarfish though, seriously.

Thresher shark seems plausible.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was real. The sea is a fucking big place. We barely know anything about what lurks inside.

[QUOTE=frozensoda;41941509]I never doubt new species found in the ocean, it's so big and unexplored. Can't they just give it a DNA test to find out if it's an oarfish?[/QUOTE]
If you read the article it says they are going to do a DNA test.
