Crikey Dave, you are going to have fun with your Airfix Glue there!

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!

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!

Very interesting chap's I reckon you should all be adviser's on 'Silent Witness' !

Tight lines

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.

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'!!!!

I'd love to have read their insurance claim

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