Though multiple guesses have been made, no one has been able to definitively identify the sea creature.
Guesses include a thresher shark and a giant oarfish, but one scientist says it will likely never be conclusively identified, as it was buried by sand due to health reasons.
The 13-foot, horned sea creature was found on Luis Siret Beach in Spain’s Andalusian village of Villaricos.
A woman reportedly discovered part of the carcass and called Cuevas Civil Protection, who uncovered the rest.
Now that the creature has been buried scientists have only photos to help identify it, though a specialist at Florida State University believes the creature found on the Spanish beach is indeed some kind of shark.
The photos have reportedly been sent to various organizations for additional help in identifying the animal.
