North Atlantic Ocean (Google, OSM)

Description

Found floating on the surface of the water right on the edge of Challenger Bank, where the bank quickly drops from 250 feet to well over 1000. Highly likely a Cuvier’s Beaked Whale kill as they are regularly seen in this area. I have the specimen frozen to take to the museum if it’s something new for them.
