“It appears to be a white, fleshy-looking substance,” he said. “It didn’t have defining features, like limbs, but it looked like a lump.” The most curious thing is that despite being a stomach, Helen says the organ doesn’t emit a strong odor.

The one who finally unraveled the mystery was the British Marine Life Study Society, which received the photos of the woman in a group on Faebook.

However, after an analysis it was confirmed that it was the stomach of a whale. The organ was likely washed ashore from a dead whale decomposing on the ocean’s surface. The type of animal is still not entirely clear.
“It’s big,” Abby Crosby, marine conservation officer with the Cornwall Wildlife Foundation, told Live Science. With the size, it is possible to speculate that gastropods belong to species such as the fin whale, the bowhead whale, or even the humpback.
