This discovery amazed me: A whale "graveyard" extending over 1,200 km. The remains or fossils of about 480 whales found in a total survey area of about 0.64 square kilometres, with one of the fossils dating back more than 5 million years.

More whalefall-related news, about an apparent long-lived (long-deaded?) whale skeletal accumulation in the Indian Ocean, making for a fascinating taphonomic situation. 🧪🐋🪦
