Whale of a find at San Diego Zoo

It’s a whale of a find at the San Diego Zoo.

In a statement, the zoo said that a construction crew using an excavator hit a hard spot while digging for a storm water tank. It turned out to be a well-preserved 3-million-year-old whale fossil.

A paleontologist from the San Diego Natural History Museum was assigned to the project as a precaution and verified the find.
