Taphonomy
(or : here's one I prepared earlier!)
A camel in natural habitat
Camel shortly after meeting a vehicle
Three weeks later - after dogs, insects and other scavengers
Closer view - note skull is already exposed
After several months - note gut contents
Parts are becoming scattered but some remain articulated
Another camel after a year -skull gone and some bones carried many metres away from main group
