#whalewednesday Last week I was hired by the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History to assess three whale-bearing fossil concretions in their garden prior to a move ahead of their renovation, as well as clean them off and consolidate them with glue. 🐬🦖🧪
A side by side comparison of a concretion with a whale skull exposed within. On the left, 'before', it is covered in lots of grime and the bone is barely visible. On the right, the bone is bright white and the rock is grayer and the grime is gone

#whalewednesday the early baleen whale Sitsqwayk cornishorum from the ~26 myo Pysht Formation of Washington, USA. An eomysticetid whale that co-inhabited the North Pacific with the much smaller toothed baleen whales in the family Aetiocetidae. 🐬🦑🦖🧪

For #WhaleWednesday how about this Bronze Age dagger from a burial in Forteviot, Perthshire. It’s made from bronze and gold, with a sperm whale’s tooth as the hilt!

Blue whales are the largest animals to have ever existed, and the oldest known one lived to be around 110 years old. But how do scientists determine a whale’s age? | WATCH📹 #WhaleWednesday
