Description: | Unwrapped mummy of a complete crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus), with an estimated age of 5 years at death. The radiographs show that there is a ball shaped mass in the stomach - stones? (Owen, 2001: 170). There are no fractures in the spinal column, although there is some disruption of the periorbital bones. These are thought to be post mortem damage, although it could represent the cause of death (Owen, 2001: 170).
