Happy Friday everyone!
This week I have a mystery object for you that came in as an enquiry from a regular donor to the Dead Zoo’s collections. It was found by a fisherman in the Irish Sea, just off Howth, which is a lovely seaside village on a peninsula that marks the northern tip of Dublin Bay :
Any thoughts on what it might be? I suspect some of you will have a pretty good idea, so keep your suggestions cryptic if you can, so everyone has a chance to figure it out for themselves. I hope you have fun figuring it out!


Just About Worked (it out). You could say the pointed process is the crowning achievement. But is the species a Boss? I think it might be.
By Jove (although Zeus would be more appropriate), I think you’ve got it!
1st clue landed, now to understand the 2nd….
Mine might be more obvious to a European…
Chewing this over I think that this definitely wisn’t the whole of the specimen.
Got that: It’s the ramus of a mandible.
