Someone (I don't remember who) suggested that the Loch Ness Monster was a gigantic Tullimonstrum. IMHO, it isn't (because it doesn't exist).

Uh-oh. It appears that usc has imposed the urldefense rewrite and redirect on the urls sent through the new DML address. I'll need to add spaces in urls again...

The Tully Monster, an oddly configured sea creature with teeth at the end of a narrow, trunk-like extension of its head and eyes that perch on either side of a long, rigid bar, has finally been identified.

A Yale-led team of paleontologists has determined that the 300-million-year-old animal—which grew to only a foot long—was a vertebrate, with gills and a stiffened rod (or notochord) that supported its body. It is part of the same lineage as the modern lamprey."I was first intrigued by the mystery of the Tully Monster.
