COLD DARK ROOM

You are so right. I used to get sick on Lake Erie all the time, but not on the ocean!

Yeah lake Erie is fairly shallow in most areas. The waves pick up quick on Erie.

I think scapula could be correct except it doesn't seem to broaden enough at the end.
Interesting.

The one thing I've learned in my life is that I know nothing, to paraphrase Socrates.
But it's not a duck billed platypus. Their scapula is very different :

And it should be remembered that a platypus is a type of beetle, the animal is the duck-billed platypus.

See I knew you would have some knowledge about this.

Bah! Humbug!

You can usually tell by applying the burn test.
Put a flame to the surface and if it smells horrible, it has collagen present and is likely modern.
If it doesn't smell, the collagen is gone or replaced and it is probably a fossil.

[Pastel Tortie]

Hmmmm.
Do cheeses have bones?
Oh, yes!

I was thinking maybe she could take string cheese or something and fashion a skeleton or maybe a rib cage out of it. ?
