[Erinome]

This is awesome!! They've unearthed over 75 intact prehistoric whales, and more in the Atacama Desert.

Along with the whale fossils, the researchers have also discovered the skeletal remains of an extinct aquatic sloth, a seabird with a 17-foot wingspan, a sperm whale and a now-extinct dolphin with two walrus-like tusks. "We're very excited about that," Pyenson said in a telephone interview with the AP. "It is a very bizarre animal."
