009 -Jenny Aniver

A Jenny Haniver is the carcass of a ray or a skate which has been modified and subsequently dried, resulting in a grotesque preserved specimen.
One suggestion for the origin of the term was the French phrase 'jeune d'Anvers' ('young [person] of Antwerp'). British sailors 'cockneyed' this description into the personal name 'Jenny Hanvers'. They are also widely known as 'Jenny Haviers'
