In 1977, the crew of the Japanese Trawler [[Zuiyo-maru]], pulled in a rotting carcass of a large animal, and were not sure if it was a whale, or a turtle without its shell. It was thought for a time to be the remains of a [[plesiosaur]] but was eventually identified as a Basking shark. | In 1977, the crew of the Japanese Trawler [[Zuiyo-maru]], pulled in a rotting carcass of a large animal, and were not sure if it was a whale, or a turtle without its shell.
