PaleoWilliam Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I think I see concrete in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) You certainly have some interesting specimens. Can you take additional photos, top, bottom and straight into what looks like teeth. From Madagascar?

TNCollector Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) That is quite odd. Looks like a bunch of pieces of random fossils put together. Edited November 12, 2015 by TNCollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanit Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 I think I see concrete in it. There is no concrete. That may be the resin with which the parts have been glued . The skull is fossilized bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 There's something not natural about this one... At least that's how it appears to me, more like someone put it together and added some things and made it look like a skull. " We're all puppets, I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.

edd Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) It does appear to be some bone material in there but still, it looks really strange and odd. The " mouth " and " teeth " on this specimen don't make any sense. Edited November 12, 2015 by edd " We're all puppets, I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.

LordTrilobite Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Sorry, but this is likely just a sculpture made out of random pieces of bone and rock. It just looks all wrong. Especially the "nostrils" and the under side of the "jaw" are very clearly carved by a person. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Looks to be an artifact for me,containing old bones assembled and carved in a way to make it be mysterious. Maybe It may have something to do with the mythology of Madagascar. (?)

jpc Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Wow... These are intesting creations. They almost look like they are carved from bone. All the bone texture i see is internal bone, not the external surface we would expect. Creation made of at least a little bone. Anatomically, they are incredibly wrong.

XZY Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Has anyone any idea what it is ? Length: 20 cm Width: 10 cm Height: 12 cm Hi Tanit. I am just wondering under what circumstances you bought these items. Your original post seems to suggest that you thought they were real. Please tell us what you think about them, and what the intention of the original post was. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
