Baleen
Last week I discovered that different species of whales have baleen that has a color that is unique to it. The golden colored baleen pictured here is from a California gray whale. There's a bit of dark baleen from a different species in this picture, too. The baleen felt like the stiff bristles of a plastic broom.

Super sharp shot, and thanks for providing me with information I didn't know! I learn so much from these blogs!
This is fascinating although I'm wondering how the whales died. Nice shot.
