Hello. I moved your spotting to the Fish category. Other is an invertebrate category for invertebrates that don't fit into Arthropods and other categories. :-)
Sorry RobynAnson, I was at the movies, so could not explain the process. Luckily Leuba did!
Thank you Leuba Ridgway, followed those steps easily and all done.
Robyn, to join the missions that muckpuk has suggested, click on the individual links - this will open up the mission. You have to select "join mission". Now, go back to your spotting and put it on edit mode. On the right-hand side you will have a list of missions you've joined. Tick the two missions that this spotting is appropriate for. Then save the spotting. You can join other missions this way. I hope this is ot too confusing.
thank you muckpuk, but i can't figure out how to put the photo in identifying animals through Osteology
Posiblemente sea craneo de pez.

Hi RobynAnson
To me that looks like the skull of a Monitor Lizard, but I am absolutely not sure and the no teeth evident throws me way off.
Put it in the Signs of Wildlife Mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7208...
and Identifying Animals Through Osteology http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8475...
maybe somebody will pick up on it and help you out.
Hi, Robyn. A very interesting find, and a really cool first spotting. I'm sure there are 'bone' people here that can assist with an ID. Sorry, but I'm pretty useless in that department. Welcome to Project Noah :-)
