Summary: Thanks everyone for the replies. Message-ID: <795@hutto.UUCP> Date: 18 Oct 90 23:55:46 GMT References: <794@hutto.UUCP> Organization: Melton System, Hutto, Texas Lines: 15 As soon as I received email from New Zealand, I figured the original message had finished its journey. So now to sum up all the replies I received: Japanese fishers snagged something big and rotting, and took a picture of it. It SMELLED BAD, so they threw it away. All we have is the photo which MAY suggest a dead pleisiosaur but also could easily be a badly mangled large shark such as a whale shark. No one has any first hand info. Just not a very interesting incident. Thanks to all who replied. -- Henry Melton ...!cs.utexas.edu!ut-emx!hutto!henry 1-512-8463241 Rt.1 Box 274E Hutto,TX 78634
