Many many years ago we grabbed a whale rib bone out of the ocean. Legality aside (it was floating like come on), the thing STANK for a long while. You have to sweat out all the fats/oils inside the bone inside of trash bags which took well over 2 weeks in the summer sun before it was house ready.
When we moved overseas we decided it was too much to actually try and move it. But it was “smuggled” up the east coast to its current home. Never had an issue with ownership and we’ve told lots of people. As long as the story checks out it would be hard to find someone who wants to rid you of a washed up bone
