KarlBear @gusterbear.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Yes! The lower left corner is juvenile grey whale baleen. It’s made of keratin, just like fingernails. It feels like fingernails too—smooth, with ridges! I love letting kids touch it and teaching them about it! 130
Baroness Von Blackheart @baronessvb.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Woo hoo! Apparently I’m not super ignorant but def surprised! This is a great, detailed description, love how it brings home the connection. Adore the fact you are teaching kids- but I’m in 5th decade & learned something new! Fantastic - and thank you! Everyone can learn every day & I love this one! 130
Baroness Von Blackheart @baronessvb.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Wish I could actually feel it, but comparison is totally relatable- you made it real! Incredibly interesting, you are awesome at this! Please know you are bringing knowledge & joy, & encouraging others to find connections to the world & life around us. You might inspire the next sea-life warrior! 030
