Skull of marine mammal to identify
Published Wednesday 1 April 2009, updated Monday 20 July 2009, by Michel Coutureau
Translation: Carine Tomé

During my visits to museums, I see from time to time skeletons reconstituted. When I have the opportunity, I take pictures of these specimens for draw them.

In wanting to make the series on marine mammals (enrichment of the "digital skeletons" section), I looked at a skeleton whose label presentation is unfortunately illegible. I have put the picture of the skull for identification.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    It looks like a killer whale, pseudorca or an old beluga. I am not sure. A few link
