Exticnt killer whale.?

I saw this b-w picture once in this book, about supposedly


pictures taken from rare animals that were believed extinct,


but yet washed on shores from time to time.





It's about this killer whale wich had a pointy nose, but unlike a shark. It was streamlined, and washed upon the shore of a beach.


This whale had teeth and was supposed to be some sort of killer-whale (not a shark nor an orca)





Anyone got this picture, or knows the name of this animal?


It did not have a sharks fin, it did have teeth like a shark gong all the way from side to side unliek a normal whale.

Beaked whales, orcas and dolphins are all related species of toothed whales.





A google image search shows various examples of these





Is this the image you saw?

Similar in appearance to an ichthyosaur.
Reply:Looks like another badly decayed specimen of whale shark washed up-they're always doin' that!. Apparently due to preferential decomposition along the underside of the fish. In extreme cases leaves a long thin section up to the head, giving rise to speculation about long necked plesiosaurs still existing.
