Could be a really big Frilled shark [img]http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/01/photogalleries/frilled-shark/images/primary/frillshark-big-1.jpg[/img] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mneDhOtVEQw[/media]

Was trying to remember the name of that shark. It could very well be one. some have been found in Spain before. [editline]23rd August 2013[/editline] Would be a huge one if it was, though.

That one was in Japan iirc. (Can't watch the video atm)

[QUOTE=Jorori;41941313]According to some sources it's actually a shark skeleton (Maybe a Thresher Shark), the horns actually being the cartilaginous "pectoral girdle" [url]http://www.livescience.com/39087-spanish-sea-creature-identified.html?cmpid=514645[/url] [url]http://www.ibtimes.com/horned-sea-monster-washes-ashore-spain-13-foot-water-dinosaur-might-be-shark-photo-1395719[/url][/QUOTE] It is a shark spine. The little things you see at the bottom are the lower caudal fin supports and the scapulocoracoids are the horns that you see that support the pectoral fin. Can't find a good image of them, but they look like the ones in the image. I'm not 100% sure it's a Thresher shark but it's definitely a member of the [i]Chondrichthyes[/i] class and more specifically, the [i]Elasmobranchii[/i] subclass and [i]Selachimorpha[/i] superorder which includes all living, modern, shark species. There's many species of shark that live in temperate waters around Spain and it could possibly be any of them unless a sample of tissue is extracted from the spine is analyzed for similarities in DNA to known shark species in that area. [editline]23rd August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=shian;41942027]Could be a really big Frilled shark [/QUOTE] I highly doubt it's one of those. Frilled sharks like to keep to themselves in the depths and their distribution in the oceans is sparse at best.

Looks like something from Godzilla.

Uh-oh, 682's escaped again.

It's most likely a shark spine. There was also a name for most "unknown sea creatures" that were pulled up on the beach and turned out to be decomposing whale stomaches or some shit. The name itself eludes me.

This time it doesn't seem like that, since basking sharks tend to be much bigger than just 4 metres/13 feet (12 metres/40 feet)

It's a dead chinese dragon.

I WANT TO BELIEVE

Well, the Loch Ness Monster certainly is a far way from home...

[QUOTE=RobbL;41941637]A what? why the hell is this dumb an anthropod isn't even a thing[/QUOTE] seriously, what is an anthropod?

[QUOTE=RobbL;41943463]seriously, what is an anthropod?[/QUOTE] Probably meant arthropod.

It looks like a whale carcass. Remember that whales are mainly blubber.

I bet its a fish

but can you out your dick in it?

[QUOTE=dass;41943304]It's a dead chinese dragon.[/QUOTE] It's a Zeke129

It's a Category 0.1

goddamnit satan you did this

[QUOTE=Griffster26;41944230]It looks like a whale carcass. Remember that whales are mainly blubber.[/QUOTE] Not enough bones for whale.

[QUOTE=OvB;41941446]Thresher shark seems plausible.[/QUOTE] I thought it was an Oarfish, but yeah, Thresher Shark is certainly possible.

[QUOTE=OvB;41948149]Not enough bones for whale.[/QUOTE] Then it's a spine.
