WHOI biologist Michael Moore (red jacket) and David Taylor, a WHOI Guest Investigator, prepared to perform a necropsy on a right whale named Stumpy, who washed ashore near Nags Head, N.C., in 2004. Stumpy's jawbone was used for the bulk of Regina Campbell-Malone's research on the amount of stress a whale bone can sustain before it breaks.
