Can anyone judge just by the skull size how big this carp might have been when alive?
I'll now sterilise them before adding to my schools skull collection! It's just over 6" long and 4" wide so the actual head would have been bigger.

That is how the carp skeletons have looked when I have seen them (unfortunately I have seen a few over the years) and when broken up and detached the head has usually still looked like a carp head as I said above. Also, there is usually the evidence of old carp scales around the area too as they seem to not rot down (obviously not if it was a leather though).Thanks for the link CA.Carp Artist wrote:http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums-static/obl ... eleton.jpg
