Scrimshaw Gallery - Whaling Museums
Not only does the New Bedford Whaling Museum contain one of the world's most impressive collections of scrimshaw, but the museum also displays several Cetacea skeletons, such as this Sperm whale, including lower jaw with all teeth.
This Sperm whale jawbone is 18-feet long.  The whale weighed 45-tons when washed ashore in 2002.
