Tasmanian Globster
The Tasmanian Globster was a large unidentified carcass that washed ashore in western Tasmania, in August 1960. It measured by and was estimated to weigh between 5 and 10 tons. The mass lacked eyes and in place of a mouth, had "soft, tusk-like protuberances". It had a spine, six soft, fleshy 'arms' and stiff, white bristles covering its body.
The carcass was identified as a whale by L.E. Wall in the journal ''Tasmanian Naturalist'' in 1981,〔Harris, J.M. 2005 ''The Tasmanian Naturalist'' 127: 20-41〕 and a later electron microscopy analysis of the collagen fibers confirmed this.〔Pierce, S., S. Massey, N. Curtis, G. Smith, C. Olavarría & T. Maugel 2004. ''Biological Bulletin'' 206: 125-133〕
The term ''globster'' was coined in 1962 by Ivan T. Sanderson to describe this carcass and the name ''Sea Santa'', coined by another journalist in the same year.
==Second carcass==
A similar find was reported by Ben Fenton, one of those involved in the earlier find, in 1970. It was buried in the sand, but the visible part was 8 ft (2.4 m) long. Pictures taken of this carcass have since gone missing.
