Yes I have seen stories about this beast. They also dredged one up from the open ocean once and managed to get some pics before it slipped off the ship and they couldn't find it again. It looks almost identical to this one although the decomp is a bit different since it was in the water.

 That is fascinating. From the positioning of the 'body' it appears that the head is upside down.. But I can see a small hole on the side of the upper jaw... don't snakes have those same holes? And the large bone next to it's head... shoulder blade??? And if so... where are the legs? Or fins? (Since Kain said he saw pix of a similiar creature pulled from the ocean.) I'm with Drow on this one.. it would be very interesting indeed to see those other pictures Kain. If you remember what topics or keywords to look for, I'll help you search for them.  :wink:

 Doing a little picture surfing... and I came up with this...


To: Maceman
Although sharks are cartilaginous they have backbones made from it. I didn't see any ribs near the backbone and sharks don't have ribs likd other fish. Just speculation on my part since I have never seen a backbone from a basker but have seen them from other sharks.
Probably the first thing they will do is have someone familiar with baskers look at the backbone since several of these recent sea monster discoveries turned out to be baskers. Here is a recent example

Abstract
A decayed carcass accidentally netted by a Japanese trawler near New Zealand in 1977 has often been claimed by creationists and others to be a likely plesiosaur or prehistoric "sea-monster." Plesiosaurs were a group of long-necked, predatory marine reptiles with four paddle-like limbs, thought to have gone extinct with the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago.

However, several lines of evidence, including lab results from tissue samples taken from the carcass before it was discarded, strongly point to the specimen being a shark, and most likely a basking shark. This should not be surprising, since basking sharks are known to decompose into "pseudoplesiosaur" forms, and their carcasses have been mistaken for "sea-monsters" many times in the past.

Interesting theory... maybe we've solved the Russian creature...

 Here's another theory I've found while surfing for answers. Possibly an Orca whale?

The Japanese fisherman one is the article I was referring to. The conclusive evidence however, is to be questioned as no one made sure it was the same sample that was tested and the immediately discredited the fisherman's measurements and observations. Also this specimine in particular had clearly defined dorsal flippers, not fins. No known livling shark has dorsal fins that large and articulately developed. They discredited this also, saying, it was a trick of the camera angle, though 2 other pictures showed the same thing and all on board the ship verified rear flippers. I guess without a body, it all comes down to hearsay, which is very disappointing for us believers  :spy:

that was either a prehestoric whale that survived extinction and lived in the oceans depths or a tasmanian sea monster with mold (which explain the fur) <^>

it could also be a moseusaur of some type like one of the people before me it could be a snake moseasur they had tons of different types of them or a prehestoric sea creature that was frozen solid but was melted out because of global warming and rootted while floating on the ocean

 Frozen where? If you're talking about it being frozen at the north or south poles.. it would have been destroyed before it ever got near a sandy beach.

I did maybe consider that theory since giant icebergs can break off and travel thousands of miles. In fact no too long ago a massive chunk of the ice shelf in antarctica broke off it was the size of delaware I think. There had to be something good frozen in there! But I still prefer it is a recently deceased specimin  :-P

 Ha! I hadn't even thought about it being frozen in a gigantic iceberg... Hmm.. But... Wouldn't someone have noticed the Titanic sinker floating around in the ocean and been like "Hey... that's bad.. let's tell someone.."  *<:)

They did. its been satellite tracked since it first broke off.

 No.. I didn't mean that one. I meant if there was one that held the creature.... So pffffft!  :-P *<:)

That goblin shark is one ugly little bastard. Good lord! I guess it's proof of how much of a heartless ice queen Mother Nature is. :laugh:

I don't know, Fiend, there seems to be a family resemblance between the two of you...

Also, I've looked at the pics... and I have to agree, they look like small whales of some kind, not plesiosaurs.

     It is possible that this is a relative to the Alligator Gar, found mostly in the States, but has also been found in Malayasia and Indonisia.  I say this because of its body structure and the skeletal fins I see in the pics above.  If it is then its the biggest Gar I have seen to date, and no I can not explain the hair (unless of course its lichen from the water, as Gars hunt in reeds and shallows, like alligators and crocks)   :spy:

 The "hair" or "fur" on the creature could also be algae or seaweed. I highly doubt that it's some "unknown".  And who took those Shiyty @ss pictures??? Can we get a close up please?? Some detail. Move it around you sissies.

This is interesting, and at first glance I thought it was a plesiosaur (sp?) myself.  But it kind of looks like a whale skull.  I noticed belugas had a similar looking skull when I did a search, and they are probably found in that area.  I wish we could get better photos of these things too :-/

hmm this is quite interesting. it certainly does look like a prehistoric sea creature , but i am inclined to belive its some sort of shark. after all , it's mostly skeleton at this point , which makes me wonder wether its a corpse of a shark , that has been caught , finned , and thrown back in the sea , and got washed up in russia.
or it the shark just got washed up there.

haha, you know what, it kind of looks like a camel lol!  I mean, I know the tail is too long, but wouldn't it be funny if they just stuck a camel head on a whale body?

can't be too careful with those Russians!  he he he

because it was found in an old marsh that was transformed into a tundra (so froze over) and now is melting again, it could be some sort of animal that was from the early ice age. Maybe some type of land sloth or something sort of like that. It looks pretty old though

 It was found washed up on the shore. From the ocean.....
