Thanks. I have to think and say there must be some authority to whom you could report this tragic desecration of remains. I am sure there are laws about remains being left in the open like this.

Zoinks!

Those look like horse shoeing nippers. They have a coating on the handle so they are recent and that much rust wouldn't take more than a year in moist conditions.

I wouldn't mind having a skeleton but only from a willing donor who died in legit circumstances.
Tidbit, in anatomy class in 2000 we were told that most future skeletons would be plastic because it was discovered some that came from India (where most were coming from) were involuntary donors who did not die of natural or accidental causes.

Maybe grave robbers? From what I have heard on documentaries this is what Egyptian mummies often looked like when archeologists opened the tombs only to discover thieves had dug into it from a different angle.

You have to wonder what took place to leave the left Ilium and Femur in nearly articulated position on top of the debris under which one assumes the rest of the remains still lay

Very interesting. I find old cemeteries & mausoleums to be fascinating. This, I think, is a little more 'informative' than the usual trip to gaze at tombs & gravestones. Thanks, Mr Motts!

To complete the couplet;

"If the Lord won't take you,
The Devil must!"

Hmmm. Why would you want a REAL skull in your house? Well, I guess it would be better than just a random.....jawbone sitting there on your coffee table smiling at you :-0...eeew. Anyway, I think people (and their..ummm...leftover parts) should be left buried.

This really was stellar Motts.
Sure isn't something you see everyday.

Lucie those people have no morality at all!

Is that ceiling brick?

It really angers me to think people feel they have the right to violate the remains of the deceased like this.

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

Life after people LL.
