ART NOW - Mary-Anne McTrowe Speaks October 20th, 2017 at Noon in the Recital Hall

It is fairly common for unidentifiable masses of decomposing sea-flesh, often measuring several metres in length and generally known as “globsters”, to wash ashore in many parts of the world. Due to their state of decomposition and the lack of any remaining external features, definite identification is not always possible until detailed cellular or DNA analysis is completed. Often thought to be cryptozoological in nature, these mysterious blobs, however, are more likely to be found the remains of partially decayed sperm whales or sharks.
