In this case, I suspect that the skull is most likely a plastic reproduction and not the real thing, especially since the holes in the lower jaw and directly below the eye sockets have visible bottoms. These holes are there to allow nerves to go through the skull would go all the way through the bones in a real skull. There is also a shininess about the texture that a real skull would not have. Attached are some plastic bones that I have some familiarity with (also taken with my Nikon E995).

I figured the skull wasn't a real one. Looked like a hinge pin on the side cheek bone by the back of the mouth. Yours has a removable head it looks like. I think his looks cool with the acid bottle beside it.

The cranium on mine opens up to receive a plastic brain. Fortunately, no attempt was made to reproduce the color or texture of that! The pin is actually a place to mount a spring, also visible in Latinbob's image, so the jaw stays closed but can be opened up if need be. This might also be done to a real skull.

I am wondering if the bottle of HCl is real though. I see no handle on the glass stopper. A cork or rubber stopper would be too difficult and dangerous to open if this bottle really contained concentrated hydrochloric acid. (I have handled the real thing.) The air bell at the top of this bottle also troubles me and seems to indicate that the bottle is lying at quite an incline from vertical and indeed may be as little as 15 degrees from lying on its back.

How cool! I wish mine did too!

The bottle is real. It was in a storage room for a chemistry class. So was the skull, which was plastic.

Who would have thunk that a thread about compact cameras would turn into CSI?

[Mr. Pickles]

Odd indeed. Maybe someone else will post an image to get it back on track. I would if someone gave me a compact camera...anyone?

OK , here's one from my S70 last September when I climbed Ruapehu and slept in a snow cave . I also got some nice shots of the sunrise ..

Wow, all the shots presented so far have been incredible. A strong statement about the level of sophistication and quality in today's smaller cameras.

Then again, the photographers might also have something to do with the quality of the images.

Ok , here is one from my old Panasonic DMC-LC5 , taken at an art fair in Hamilton , New Zealand ...

the reds in those tulips were just too fierce for my Kodak DX7590 to handle properly...I tried to tone them down but gave up after trying this and that... this is the colour adjustment that I've settled on...from a park on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.

Great shots everybody.* Its amazing what a compact camera can do and heres 1 of my favorite pictures I ever took .* I took it in Villar Switzerland in 2003 while on a Snowboard trip with my first Camera.

I find the title to this forum a little odd as my 2 Minolta Dimage 7ug camera's weigh in at 18 oz., 4 "AA" batteries and a 28-200 mm lens. I don't think they qualify as "compact" cameras. Here are a couple from my garden yesterday.
