Ancistrocheirus lesueuri Squid Dropped by Sperm Whale

Part of a squid dropped by a sperm whale. From the size, shape and shape of the clubs on the feeding tentacles, my guess is that this is the remnants of a sharpear enope squid (Ancistrocheirus lesueuri), a mesopelagic squid that sperm whales feed upon in the southern hemisphere.
