This dinosaur-like creature was uncovered while cleaning out a fireplace at the end of the summer. The fireplace has glass doors that were closed tightly, apparently preventing the creature's escape. Amongst the ashes were: one whole, un-hatched eggshell, a number of broken shells, and one large-ish feather. What happened?

Announcement
A R M A D I L L O C O N T E S T
I can't believe I drove back and forth across Arkansas and missed the chance to get an armadillo in (in)action.
If you send me a photo of a *dead armadillo, you will win a prize.
* Take Note – This web site is entitled "The Wild Dead" and not "The Wild Murdered." No animal should come to harm for the sake of this dumb contest.
Good luck to all!

Paul MacDonald found this very old cat in his woodpile. Unfortunately, this incredible specimen was stolen by a dog and is presumed to have been buried somewhere in the vicinity of St. Ann's Bay, Cape Breton. RIP. Nine times. Photographed by Carol MacDonald.

This is a so-called "ringtail".
Spider Vetter sent it to us from one of the Dakotas, I can't remember which.
Why she's photographing partial dead animals in her spare time, I don't know. That's sick.

The Wild Dead Bored of Directors was pleased to present the work of
Mr. Eldon Baldwin of Baltimore*
*Short Bio Information: Mr. Baldwin's interest in this stuff seems to have developed entirely in isolation from the knowledge of this Collection. His unique style is noted for its emphasis on the extremity of decay. It is our great fortune to have found an artist whose vision has so much to offer to this project, and we look forward to his contributions in the future.
And in his own words:
