COMMUNICATION UPDATING INFORMATION OF THE WHALE WITH A HARBOR OF 200 YEARS

Regarding the whale with Cuvier's beak that appeared on the evening of January 23, 2020 in Cala Rovira, Platja d'Aro, the UB-IRBio Large Marine Vertebrate Research Group wants to update the information and to deny the generated and disseminated news.
Having consulted the Museum of Archeology of Catalonia, the find has no archeological interest. It was not a harpoon but a piece of metal, blunt and flat, and used as an awning stand. He was not 200 years old, if not for furniture used in the 1930's and 1940's in the area. And in no case was it an endangered species of cetacean. We look forward to using proven channels to spread the news. "
