Mystery Skeleton On Ice


ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - Marine scientists in Canada and abroad are puzzled by bizarre photographs that appear to show the skeleton of a large mammal jutting out of an iceberg that recently drifted past Newfoundland's east coast.

That's as definitive as federal Fisheries and Oceans research scientist Gary Stenson can be about the photos. He has no DNA sample.

"It looks like a mammal," he said.

If it was prehistoric creature, Stenson says it may have fallen into a crevasse and froze.
