Fun Fact: Some of the deep sea scavengers that today feed on whale bones might have originated all the way back in the Mesozoic as they fed on the bones of Ichthyosaurs and other marine reptiles.
@DrakonBlake

Giant cephalopod (shell) might’ve been a tasty treat for scavengers even earlier than that. Though specific adaptations to feeding on large marine reptile carcasses might translate better to ones for feeding on whale carcasses

@@crouton7070 What part of God's image involves shitting when you die and intestinal bloating due to gas buildup, causing putrescine blood-slime to be pushed out of the nose and mouth? Yucky. Did Jesus do that when he died? Ecclesiastes 12:7 kinda skips over being eaten by worms with the whole "dust" thing. Job is definitely based though. Job 17:13-14: "If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness, I have said to corruption, 'You are my father,' to the worm, 'You are my mother and my sister.'"
