Yes I ' now sure it's the pelvic bone of said deer. Funny how I thought it was a carp skull and me a biologist!! Tres embarrassing!

Re: Carp skull: comparative anatomy
It has still been an enlightening thread, I'm sure we have all learned from it. Must admit I thought the Pelvic bone was some type of skull too, just not a carp.

Thanks, that's reassuring, I thought it might be only me that thought it looked like a skull!! And the small sockets just look like eyes belong there!

I think you have some of the upper bones. No idea of the size.

Don't be embarrassed Santiago, bones/fossils have been misinterpreted for generations. It made us all think and, in a true South Park way 'we've learned something today'.
Not a South Park fan? You don't know what you're missing.

Re: Carp skull: comparative anatomy
And a very good job I'm not a pathologist. Although if I was I like to think I would not have boobed in mis-identifying!! Funny though, when I worked in London there was a forensic path lab above my lab, and one hot summer their main chest freezer broke down possibly on a Friday night. Anyways on the following Monday the whole building stank as the pathologists were removing 'bits' that had 'gone off'!!!!

Perhaps they were the first to insure arms and legs before celebs started!
