It is a pilot whale.  I sent the photos to Jim Mead at the Smithsonian =
for confirmation.  He has probably done more necropsies and worked with =
skeletons of marine mammals than most people.  I am checking with MARS =
to see if it was reported to them at an earlier date.  Their number is =
1-866-567-6277 whenever a dead, injured or distressed marine mammal is =
found - or in this case, a skeleton.

  A friend took three photos this weekend of a skeleton of a vertebrate =
on Cape Sable Island.  The three photos are here:

  A crocodile, perhaps?  All suggestions welcome.


  Cheers,
