Depicting a long sea serpent skeleton, it is installed in the intertidal zone at Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, Loire-Atlantique, France and was inaugurated on June 20, 2012.

It represents the skeleton of an immense imaginary sea serpent, whose vertebrae undulate to end in an open mouth.

The work is installed at the tip of the Nez-de-Chien, in Mindin, in the territory of the commune of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins in the French département of Loire-Atlantique, at the limit where the Loire estuary joins the Atlantic Ocean.
