Can you Guess What This Picture Is?

What's the rough size of it? A necklace thing?

Chemistry4me · « **Reply #3681 on:** 30/06/2009 06:30:54 »

Is it a model of something?

It's not a necklace.

You could call it a model I suppose...

The thing in the image is part of a complete object about 50cm high x 50 cm long, or less

Is it a chest? A box thing? Or a weapon maybe?

No. The "bone" hasn't been made into anything.

Chemistry4me · « **Reply #3685 on:** 30/06/2009 07:13:17 »

So basically all that it is is a pile of 'bones' moulded into something?

Not exactly... What structural form do the bones from an animal normally take?

So this is part of a skeleton and we must identify either the part or the animal?

Is it a (former) woolly mammoth?

Don is correct, this is part of a skeleton. You need to tell me which part, AND what the skeleton belonged to [

Ribs? Chest?

Lets just re-cap here.

It's part of a skeleton (or model of a skeleton) which is 50cms high and under 50cms long.
It is not that of a mammal nor exoskeleton of an insect.

Would it be avian?

hollow birdy bone from the leg and up to the jaw..

It is not that of a mammal nor exoskeleton of an insect.

It's in the class Aves, but it's not a modern bird.

Karen, good guess - part of the jaw is in the photo!

Can anyone guess which animal it is?

Don_1 · « **Reply #3695 on:** 01/07/2009 08:55:06 »

Archaeopteryx? Or have I gone too far back?

Elephant Bird, Dodo?

_Stefan_ · « **Reply #3696 on:** 01/07/2009 09:16:16 »

Well done Don! It's Archaeopteryx!!!
