Dear Conchler's,

Help! Pleaaazze...

Can anyone please explain what a 'Mermaid's Comb' is? Possible explanations so far are

1. Bony internal part of a ray ???
2. Bony internal part of a whale or other creature that is a filter feeder ???

Internet searches only returned all the legends associated with mermaids and their combs.

Best regards,
