(Masters by Research) Where do Whale Skeletons Come From?
Cetacean skeletons are rarely preserved in geological time, and class as one of the least common paleontological objects. In The Forth Valley, Scotland, as many as seventeen mysticete whale skeletons have been discovered: more than the entirety of Europe, combined, for analogous/contemporaneous deposits (c. 10,000BP – 4,000BP.) The circumstances which caused them to accumulate in such an unprecedented environment, and at such a rapid rate, have never been explained. A range of physical processes (e.g. sedimentation) and environmental factors (e.g. salinity) require investigation, and eventual integration, into the regional isostasy-eustasy timeline.
