An ancient whale bone was found at Ban Phaeo, Samut Sakhon. And that area should have been the sea before Although today it is located 15 km from the coast of the Gulf of Thailand.
Today (November 7, 2020), the Facebook page www.facebook.com/thaiwhales reported that this afternoon, November 6, we were informed on the page that we found a whale skeleton in Ampha Paeng. Ban Phaeo, Samut Sakhon Province
The first look in my mind is trying to think that we have buried the carcass of the dead whale there. But Ban Phaeo is far from the sea, the answer is never, definitely not.
We rushed to the SWU Rare Marine Animal Team (Center for Marine Resources Research and Upper West Gulf Coast) who after learning from the officers, immediately went to the area.
A whale skeleton found 6 meters deep from the surface is a large whale, an unknown species. Five large vertebral segments were found. They are larger than the Bruda whale remains found.
Observing the area near the Tha Chin River found to have a recurring appearance There are small remains of shells, it can be assumed that this area was once the sea.
NTC researchers are looking for the most suitable method for skeletal recovery. Including finding the age of the area and scientifically verifying the bone age.
The oldest whale skeleton in Thailand ever found is the fin whale skeleton in Wichitra Thani Village. Bangna-Trad Highway Discovered while building a village. Some of the skeletons are now fossils (petrified).
I secretly thought that this whale skeleton was very old. This is likely to provide important historical evidence for both whales and archeology and geology. That should be studied, investigated and allowed us to learn more about the existence of Thai whales.
