my latest- a 7" whale vert.

[AeroMike]

Well, Since I finally got this thing cleaned of all the barnacles that covered it (it was completely covered with hundreds of barnacles) this evening, I thought I would post some pics. This whale vert was recovered in one of the black rivers here in Charleston, SC and all I have to do now is let it dry out. It measures 7" tall and 5.5" wide.

I'll take a pic of what they look like with all the barnacles on it so you have an idea of what I have to deal with.

Enjoy~!

For size comparison, here it is next to a normal pop bottle

Mike, do you have any idea of how old this is?

I'm waiting to find one of those down in Venice. Good for you!

No, but I can find out. I will as my dive buddy he'd know.

I sure hope you do too! I am heading down there to Venice Beach this summer and I am hoping to find a mammoth tooth and of course some Mako teeth, lol
