The big fossilized bone found
on the tide flat by Ben Malmin
some days ago has been the ob
ject of much interested specu
lation during the succeeding
interval but no one has yet ap
peared with definite know
ledge ae to what kind of a
creature it originally belonged
to. It is generally agreed, how
ever, that it was no part of a
land animal, but rather of
some sea denizen of the whale
species, although those famil
iar with the skeletal structure
of the ordinary whale say they
have never seen whale verte
ba of quite the same shape.
