DescriptionFoetal skeleton, approx. seven months.
Age estimation is based on crown-rump length, which is 27cm. The skeleton has been preserved with ligaments and intercostals dried to hold the skeleton together. The hip joints are partially flexed - though this is loose. The remains have been coated in a dark brown varnish to preserve the soft tissues, though this has flaked off in many areas.
