Globsters are difficult to identify organic masses that wash up on a beach. It differs from a carcass because it is not obvious what animal it comes from at first.
The term "globster" was coined by Ivan T. Sanderson in 1962 to describe the Tasmanian carcass of 1960, which was said to have "no visible eyes, no defined head, and no apparent bone structure." Other sources simply use the term "blob"
