Selv om vi kun har fundet \u00e9n ryghvirvel, kan vi identificere den som en hval\u00f8gle. Fundet giver os dermed ny viden om hval\u00f8glers forekomst i regionen og er et vigtigt bidrag til vores forst\u00e5else af fortidens havliv, siger Laura Cotton, der er lektor og kurator for Danekr\u00e6 ved Statens Naturhistoriske Museum.
