See that long thing behind Gillian? Guess what it is.



What do you think it is?
It's not a log.
It's not a fake dinosaur bone.
It is a real bone.
It was found in California about 30 years ago.
It's longer than Gillian.
It's the lower jaw bone of a gray whale! Pretty cool, I think. The grandfather of a teacher at G's school found a dead gray whale rotting on the California coast. I have no idea how the smell didn't make him pass out, but he went in there and dug out the jaw bone. He has the upper jaw bone as well, but the teacher only brought this one to school.
