    It's fossilized, isn't it? Not stricty our area mate, a bit too early in my opinion - though I'm sure there are archaeologists who take an interest in early hominid development. You should look the the paleontology forums, particularly the American ones. They're well into this stuff.

    Bring it to the NH musuem on Kildare street, they won't charge- where did you find that?

    Thanks for all the help! :) Alas, I wish I had found it. It's just a mold. There is a name for it, it just eludes me. I'll try palaeontology.
