The only commute longer than the TTC's delays is the one this whale bone took to downtown Toronto.
Queen's Quay Whale Vertebra in Toronto, Ontario
A killer whale vertebra unearthed in downtown Toronto in 1988 remains a mystery. Radiocarbon dating and pollen analysis place it between 1800 and 1840, but no one knows how it got there—whaler discard, zoo debris, or something else. It now resides at the Royal Ontario Museum.
