This carcass was found 1991 in Chile, South America. It was identified as basking shark.

hmmmmm 1922, and COLOR photography?? sounds kinda fishy to me... i totally agree with Catholic Warrior. somebody should check the date on it... maybe 1932, 42, 52?

Crocodile.

Looks like a decomposed Croc. Maybe the supposedly extinct sea croc?

Actually you can turn a black and white photograph into colour by adding the correct mix of the primary colours. It's how they got the colour pictures of mars.

Looks like a small beaked whale carcass. As for the 1922 date, color film wasn't produced until the mid-1930's.

#10 Posted by tremor on 14 November, 2005, 10:33

maby it was a croc and a game hunter took the skin to make bags and stuff out of it. thats my best bet...

#9 Posted by lyknatheart on 13 October, 2005, 3:46

Yes there were. I honestly don't know, croc, perhaps, but the shape is all wrong. It could have simply been the carcus of some whale, that had been dinner for some and rotted for others.

Sorry, but that did not wash up on shore in 1922 and get photographed. No color photography at that time.

#7 Posted by the last diciple of funk on 28 September, 2005, 2:08

#6 Posted by hassell4 on 20 September, 2005, 2:53

Could this thing be the giant alligator from 2 of the other pics? I wonder.

#5 Posted by viruspunk on 17 September, 2005, 3:54

There was a dinosaur that washed up to shore in 1922 now this? It might be real but there is no evidence.

#4 Posted by grey35 on 8 September, 2005, 23:15

it looks like an croc and its not fake cuz you can die with your mouth open.

#3 Posted by threeplustuesday on 4 September, 2005, 9:19

Your mouth can be open when you're dead...

#2 Posted by neverheardofit on 3 September, 2005, 2:43

If its dead how is its head up and its mouth open? I think its fake.
