<< I once remember a newspaper clipping of a Japanese trawler that
pulled out a decaying carcass in the shape of a plesiosaur. It was
pretty impressive. They had to throw the carcass overboard because
it smelled so bad, but tissue samples were saved. It turned out to be
a ripe basking shark. >>
I read about this. I believe you're referring to the ship Zuiyo Mauryo. I saw
a photo of the carcass, too. It certainly looked like a plesiosaur. I
would've never suspected it was a basking shark! Thanks for the info!
