The Whalebone Monument is a portico of four whale ribs standing atop the Claromecó Lighthouse in 1966. The ribs are in truth blue stone, and they mark the lighthouse as the site chosen for the rite.

Description
The four ribs copy the whalebone arch with which the English appropriation marked the Malvinas — the arch crowning the main square of the islands’ capital, a symbol of British presence. Here the same four pieces rise over the Buenos Aires coast.
The chains holding them are identical, link for link, to those hanging in Casa Brockford, the house where the cult kept its prisoners and the threshold through which the gesta (campaign-cycle) entered the supernatural. The monument and the house share a maker.
Nature
Those able to read the occult find that the ribs are not bone: they are marked like zirconium, the blue stone that the Esoteric Order of Dagon moves and awakens in the lighthouse lantern — the island’s dormant mineral repeated in four bones.
The site of the rite was chosen because the marked ribs already stood at the top: «por eso son los elegidos» (“that is why they are the chosen ones”). The monument is a sign planted in advance, one of the pegs that decided, before anyone climbed the 286 steps, that this lighthouse would be the altar. It ties together the monument, Casa Brockford and the zirconium.
