Gray whale articulation underway

3/28/2015

Vancouver Island University's gray whale skeleton at the Deep Bay Centre for Shellfish Research is coming together quickly with continued support from the community and help from some amazing volunteers.  Articulating has officially begun, starting with the flippers this week.  The next step is to begin gluing vertebrae onto backbone steel and figuring out the tricky internal rib mounts.

Update: the dead Risso's dolphin that was found in Washington late last week was positively identified as the same individual we saw in Ganges harbour.
