Last week we began the preparation of this young Chelonia mydas, a green sea turtle, that washed up on a Danish beach earlier this year (you can read a bit about the discovery here). It’s the first green sea turtle recorded from Denmark! The specimen is in *beautiful* condition, with just two barnacles attached, but the gut and cloaca seemed practically empty; we wonder if there might be plastic in the gut, but for the sake of the integrity of this extremely rare specimen, we did not dissect further.

Check out these awesome ‘teeth’ on the palate and the beak—the turtle solution to the loss of true teeth.

This kind of thing is a real highlight of the job. Such a privilege and honour to get to work with these special specimens of national and international significance.
