Sea Serpent bones?

I was browsing a site when I came across this interesting photo of what appears to be possibly sea serpent bones.
I couldn't find a discussion about it on the other site nor on this one - which I find hard to believe because it seems like everything has been posted here before.

Doe anyone know for sure what creature these bones belong to or if they are bones at all - maybe the head was molded and added as a hoax?

probably a Ling, Wolf eel or Giant Wrymoth

That's an incredible looking creature! I'm definitely going to be doing some "Googling" on those.

My man suggested it might be one of these prehistoric sharks although neither of us are marine biologists.

Ok, I found a ling cod skeleton but it's difficult to tell because of it's mouth being open and profile view.

I don't think it's a wolf eel judging from this skull

I haven't been able to find a Wrymouth skeleton yet though

Looks like a hoax, sorry, not a trace of flesh, bones are together, yet not quite, and the skull looks like a holloween toy dragon skull. Skeletons don't wash up like that. Also, you'd think they would have taken some more pics.

seeing as how the skeleton is intact, for the most part, leads me to believe it was at least partially intact when it landed on the beach and rotted. Sorry no hoax here. A fish died, floated and landed on the beach and rotted, leaving just bones. It happens all the time.

This is clearly a hoax, and even if it isn't noone has the skeleton ready for examination. Furthermore, it isn't a serpent in any case, but a fish skeleton, and further still, at best, it could only have been a dragon roll.

That is so cool. So grotesque. So eel-like. Thanks for sharing.

I assume you are not referring to sushi...that's the only dragon roll I know.

I'm sorry, that Dragon Roll remark was meant to be a joke(fish=sushi, Serpent=Dragon), but nevertheless it's impossible to prove or disprove conclusively without the bones in hand.

I'm still looking, but so far the closest thing I have come across is this cod fish skull

It has a similar 'lip' area for lack of a better word.

Alright serpent lady these are the closest things I could find so far. One of them is a fictional drawing of a dragon skull.



Still would like to get my hands on those bones though.
