anyone know what species this is ???, ive tried to find a website that might help me with this as it is very unusuall for this to sort of thing to be seen on my beach (Bispham/Cleveleys). to no avail i thought id ask here.

im thinking a baby whale maybe of the killer variety ? its about 2ft long maybe more.

Porpoise?

I would guess it`s the remains of a young Common porpoise "Phocoena phocoena". I can watch them quite regularly in the Baltic sea - nice fellows.

Naar, it's a dead possum mate.

Valid point, if they were bitten off, the bones should be visible. I guess they are burried under his fuslage.

Likely birth defects.

side fins is there right in the centre, black skin still on it. in its mouth was stuffed with wood, lolipop sticks etc, :( i had thought it got that stuff stuck there and therefore died... but from that skeletal image the jaw and head dont seem quite as sharp and pointed.

We're so bored we're taking photos of roadkill and posting them here. We need a patch now!
