A Whale of a Find

I have made yet another a groundbreaking discovery in a stratum containing enormous fossilized marine life!! In spite of my reputation as a crank paleontologist, I am certain to gain notoriety with this fascinating finding.
Even the casual observer can see the fossilized remains of a baleen whale perfectly preserved in rock, petrified in the act of feeding tens of millions years ago. It seems that plankton feeders grew to unprecedented sizes during this ancient period in the primordial seas of Earth.
Soon excavations will commence and my reputation will finally be secured. Perhaps the ancient whale species will be named after me - Balaenoptera Scottia Maximus.
As usual, I have backed up my outrageous claim with a photograph.

This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera with a Carl Zeiss Sonnar 1:4 f=150mm lens and Kowa L 1A ø67 filter + adapter using Kodak Portra 400 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
