I found this picture while researching and the language the site was in was not understandable. I wanted to know if anyone had any information on it and what you think it is:

well there are several theories on globsters....

parts of dead whales

parts of dead squids

parts of dead sharks (whale shark/basking shark)

and collections of rubbish/waste

But do you really think this LARGE "thing" can come from a whale/squid/shark? And this "thing" doesn't look like rubbish/waste. It looks like an organism that isn't or is not part of a whale, squid, or shark.

ok think how large some whales are...

i mean that thing is tiny compared to what a decomposing blue whale would look like, so it could just be a chunk of decomposing whale, after everything in the sea has had a nibble before hand of course...

I guess, your right. But just take a quick look at the picture. See how at the ends it forms a pattern. For each goblet at each end, they look like rain drops or something with a pattern, no? Do decomposing whales fat look like that?

well maybe whales bodies decompose in a certain way that makes the carcass look as though theres a pattern or structure to it....

plus i'm no expert on the insides of a whale, i mean that think could be anything, it doesn't have to be whale fat, it could be anything from a whale...

But do you agree with me that whatever that "thing" is, it is in a pattern because the whole thing is in a pattern, I just realized that.

another one, not a photo though it was found in August 1960, the thing was 20 feet long and 18 feet wide

Between the time of its discovery and the expedition, the carcass drifted northward with the tide. It is unclear whether or not the carcass decomposed during this time. Fenton said that the carcass had "no smell, no sign of decomposition, and the skin was as hard as ever."

heres a site that may be useless regarding this kind of thing...

and another

I don't know the specific name for it, but it looks like an overgrown deep water snail (its not, it just looks like it), but otherwise, I and I'm sure am not alone, have not a clue what that is.

I was going to say the same thing. But could it be something like a rare deep sea slug or something?

Yeah, something strange that lives in the deep depths of the ocean that is not seen commonly.

It was proven to be blubber of a basking shark.

CR's training to be a marine biologist (although he'd be a better cryptozoologist ), so he knows his stuff.

First time I've seen this pic though.

It was on the late night news once, and when they did a DNA test one was just a whale.

Basking sharks have blubber? You know your stuff.

Well that blubber has a pretty design to it

Lol i have some news for you,marine biologists actually are ALSO cryptozoologists,it's obvious if ya think about it.Studying unknown creatures that wash up onto the shore,watching for the ogopogo etc...

..Yea

I'd rather be one that watches instead of diving in yourself. I mean, yeah I know its an awesome experience. But the dangers involved are what get me worried. Submarines that go down deep could sometimes have a hole or create a hole due to pressure and due to the pressure, the whole thing would just join into a ball and you'd be crushed in no time. If their weren't as many dangers involved, I might really enter it -

That doesn't happen to submarines anymore,those occurences are from a long tim ago.But with nowaday scuba diving,it isn't exactly dangerous,you just gotta know your stuff Like i do

I am working on the assumption that the bigger the sea dwelling creature the more blubber they have, internal radiator system to maintain a contstant temp withing the body to survive... I am probably compltely wrong here?? Agian this I feelk is another board that has been solved and can be closed.... We agree it is Blubber from a large shark or whale ?

Yes, we do.

I totally agree with you actually.

The deeper an animal lives in water depths, the colder it gets. Animals are adapted to the cold (atleast the ones who are meant to live down deep in the mighty depths). Animals that are adapted the cold could be reasoned due to the amount of blubber they hold. More blubber, more warmth. More warmth, easier to survive in the cold?! Anyone agree?

I do!

Good to hear =)

I think I'm signing out now Mysterey. Enjoy your nightly UM.

Bu-bye.

G'nite - nice talking to you.
