California 'dinosaur' picts



It seems someone in 1925 took pictures of a beached Baird's Beaked whale
carcass.

I think this is what you have-with the insides eaten away.  In
particular the head is very similar and the teeth being exposed IS what
you have in the older photo.

length can be longer than what you have at 20 feet.  Fits in scale of
skull in photos.

found off shore modern California-so in similar locations (those cliffs
in the background look very N cal)
