Perrine,
what is the nature of the burial? The position you describe would, in a ecological/geological context, be reminiscent of an animal that had died by being trapped in mud. The German palaeontologist Johannes Weigelt made several observations of this type of death position during his field research. This would depend on the context of your animal however.
Regards,
Don.

Dear All

I'm studing a horse' skeleton found in this unnatural posture : on the stomach, posteriors member on each side of the body, forelimb folded up under the nose.

Does someone have already seen a similar posture?

I'm wondering : is this posture have a link with the slaughter's method?

I’m looking for a paper or some works about horses' posture (or another animal husbandry) at the time of slaughter.

Does someone have something like that?

Thank you !
