| "The Sharmail Library Dragon Skull." |
Fragment # 1
"The Sharmail Library Dragon Skull - sketched in the scant minuets that where afforded me by the zealous librarian."
On the reverse, in an uneven script -
"Bilge-skinned librarians! She hit me with a book crook, just for trying to touch the Dragon skull. I thought she was reading!"
 |
| "Horse skull for comparison to Dragon" |
"My suspicion is that this is a baby skull. The fontanel is still open, the plates yet to be fused and the egg beak is still intact, and under developed. A still-born dragon maybe? It is a mere 3 feet in length. If their patterns are wedded closely enough to the Organic world the teeth indicate they are not milk feeders!"
Fragment # 2
"Horse Skulls have a similar structure to Dragons, though the latter also owes its form to birds and dinosaurs. Are they from an Organic lineage??"
 |
| Comparison of Dragon and Wolf's leg structure. |
Fragment # 3
"Dragon's leg bones."
"Wolf leg bones for comparison."
"Drawn in a hurry on a beach of the first Island of the Jagraana Archipelago north of Beorg while cowering behind a giant limpet."
 |
| "Dragon in "High Walk"" - leg bones |
Fragment # 4
"Crocodiles have a walk called the "Low Walk" and another called "High Walk". It appears that Dragons are in some ways similar..."
"Dragon in "High Walk". My mood:- Concerned."
 |
| "Wings (not to scale)" - Bone structure |
 |
| Ottarolian dinosaur hips and badger hips |
"My Dragon leg (Jagraana)
Primative Dinosuar (e.g. Central Ottarol)
Pterosaur (e.g. Northern Ottarol)
Bird (e.g. Northern Ottarol)
 |
| "Allosaurus Fragilis Skull" |
Fragment 6 #
"Allosaurus Fragilis skull from Uryupinsk trader, who acquired it in Alaran. Thought to originally have come from Ottarol"
On reverse -
"Structure of the Fragilis is very open, and in many ways similar to birds and to the Sharmail Library Dragon Skull. Birds and Dragons fly - Fragilis, as far as I am aware does not. Is this an adaption for a speedy and fish based diet? More importantly - Why do Dragons have all these poetic resonances with the birds and beasts of the Organic Physical world? If, as I suspect, they are essentially poetic creatures, what does this say about their magical Faerie structures? Do they rhyme as well with the other realms? If only I had had the patience to complete my shamanic training! Why does the horizon always call so strongly??"
