basically a friend of mine swears that this is proof of dinosaurs living with us today....



please help me out, i know you guys are experts at this stuff, anything is appreciated

That's a rotting whale or basking shark carcass.

Where did you get these pictures?

^ my friend emailed them to me...

They really are rotting whale or basking shark carcasses.. they have been mistaken for sea serpents time and time again.

Here you go : http://paleo.cc/paluxy/plesios.htm

I can see why, they do look kind of like a dino. Very interesting. This kind of opens up ideas as to origins of myths if people found things like this hundreds of years ago, which I'm sure happened.

The first three are one hundred percent basking sharks, the next one looks like some deformed turtle, the last...looks like me! Hey! Stop taking pictures of me!

LOL!

i find this very interesting.not that im saying this could be true.but it could be a good posability that some may have servived the astroyed.very interesting

If you use the search engine here you'll find a few threads on those picture's and yes they are not dino's........

I found this on the third picture you posted....

The Zuiyo Maru was a Japanese trawler that caught a creature initially claimed to be a prehistoric plesiosaur off the coast of New Zealand in 1977. Although several Japanese scientists insisted it was "not a fish, whale, or any other mammal", analysis later indicated it was most likely the carcass of a basking shark.

The picture is posted in the link....

There has been a thread here about the last two pics where we concluded that the animal is some kind of sperm whale (probably a young one) half-buried in the sand with his penis hanging out.

The Santa Cruz Sea Monster - Otherwise know as Berardius bairdi a rare beaked whale.


Rotting Basking Shark


Another Rotting Basking Shark, the Zuiyo Maru as pointed out already by isis-999


Never heard a good call on this one. Pretty small I believe. (see th packet next to it) My guess would be a fetal creature. As someone suggested, something out of its shell sounds feasable.
A root of some type of vegitation is a good possibilty. Looks a little like a yam.



Whale with privates hanging out.

Why does your friend believe dino's exist today? Hypocritcal as that may seem with my fascination of the Mokele Mbembe, Emele Notuku and Ropen, dinos were wiped out 65 million years ago. Closest thing around today is a bird. The earth was different then, composition atmosphere everthing. It could support Dino's then. Not now, not with man tramping all over the place. For your sake I hope it's not that creationist tripe.
Here is a link to some honest to goodness sea monsters!! These really do exist!

Ok ok, that's all well and good, but if dinosaurs don't exist anymore can someone explain THIS please?

That's a bit embarrasing. What a way to go.

oh lord.

I believe this one is actually a plant root or something similar.

Not a root, but an air pod attached to fronds of kelp. They are what keep them floating vertically. I remember these floating up on the beach all the time.

Err...please don't use that word. And normally whales don't have any that size!

Or it could be a slightly mutilated Sunfish. They are known to be able to get that big.

Jurassic Park.

^^^^ Case closed....

Im afraid they do actually......



Makes you feel sorry for the poor little guys sometimes hey..............

Hope substituting winky is more appropriate

-rolls on floor laughing at the above-

haha, all those nicknames should due!

xD

Wow, we're off topic.

-Solitaia.

The blue whale's penis can reach a length of 12 feet, and each testicle can weigh as much as a ton. That's some hefty tackle! Sir Attenburough told me. And why not use those words? They are the correct terms for such structures and far more formal and acceptable than using childish nemase like winkie or willy or little manny etc.

Seriously?! Wow, then they must be doing some serious editing on the Discovery Channel. I would think they would though. Or else it would be:

"Now children, here is a blue whale swimming...wait, what is that?"

Awww, just havin some fun, don't you love me anymore ?? "sniff" Monty Python finds these terms acceptable! Come on, twas funny

Fortunately they don't often show whales mating. It's quite a frightening scene, considering it's prehensile as well. Yes, Blue Planet scarred me in ways that can never be healed (mainly insane jealousy- mine's ain't prehensile )

OK, enough with the peurility...




Psyche, I will always love you, but I just wanted to point out to the kid that the proper words are nothing to be ashamed of using.

Of course, Monty Python also found acceptable, the legendary term "Naughty Bits".

*snicker* interesting route this post has taken.

Those are all fairly classic.

1. Probably some sort of beaked whale, washed up on Moore's Beach a bit outside Santa Cruz in 1925.
2. A basking shark carcass that washed up on a Massachussetts beach in November (I think) 1970. 20 feet long and weighed two tonnes; some sources inaccurately claim it "50 foot long" and weighed "15-19 tonnes".
3. Zuiyo Maru catch of 1977; basking shark carcass 10.77 m long. (There is no skeletal structure suggesting plesiosaurid nature, which sadly some delusional creationists would like to think).
4. This one, I remember, was a badly decomposed porpoise.
The two last ones is obviously the carcass of some kind of whale.

The orgin is this hilariously misinformed site, isn't it?

Actually I think it's some kind of root as these others have said. It looks like a soda can there near its head. A porpoise would be bigger.

It wasn't an adult. I went through the local newspaper that first mentioned it and I encountered one article where it was explained that it was a badly decomposed baby/young porpoise.

Having seen blown-ups of pic 4, the blue thing beside it's mouth is actually a 440ml can of Fosters lager. However it also looks suspiciously like a packet of Wriggley's peppermint Extra (I think, what's the blue one again?).


ah-ha! Knew I had it uploaded to Photobucket!


See the "Fosters"?


Here's a tinnie.

So it's a can of Foster's? I always thought it was Extra gum.



(Yeah, peppermint. )

Aye, that's the one Raptor!

It's either one or t'uther anyway.
