“From the photos I’ve seen, I’ve little doubt that it is going to turn out to be from a whale, but maybe I’ll be surprised,” Sidney Pierce, the biology department chair at the University of South Florida, told MSNBC.com. From a whale? What is he trying to say, whale's molt? I don't think so... what the hell could that possibly be to have come from a whale?

Stomach, maybe? like it says in the article. I like the plankton colony idea, but I don't think that's going to be it.
