Dino
FOUND by R. Scott Rogers
in Greensboro, North Carolina
I found this picture while my flatmate, AJ, and I were walking to the gym on campus. I have to guess that someone small took this one.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
its a good thing you found this one because i would have not known what it was at all. when i first saw this i thought it looked like someone had cut out the silhouette of a giant tortes. i feel retarded now.
looks like the last thing someone saw before they were devoured by the skeletal remnants of... something big.
Looks like a dancing skeleton.
glad to see i'm not the only one up this early.
i like the ceiling. it's fancy.
and i also like the feeling of this picture. the person who took it must have been so intrigued by the dinosaur, it reminds me of innocence. i remember loving the museum.
sadly, the magic is gone.
Is that a ceiling or wallpaper? Whatever it is, I'm totally diggin' it.
Looks like Dino's trying to take a leak.
I'm reminded of a documentary on dinosaurs and every time the narrator would say dinosaur, it came out sounding like "dinasuaaaaaw". The rest of the time his voice was normal. My boyfriend and I would wait in anticipation for the next pronunciation of "dinasuaaaaw", which continued to worsen as the story went on. Subsequently, that is the only thing I remember from the show and it still cracks me up to think about it.
I had no idea I was looking at a dinosaur fossil until i saw some of the comments. . . whew.
but it does remind me of this time when I was a little girl and my parents brought me to see the dinosaur fossils at the state museum. I remember being TERRIFIED!! i was crying and so upset that my dad had to carry me around the museum.
hmph, I can only imagine how terrified I would have been if I was in the position that the photographer of this picture was in. .
Instead of a chalk outline , it's a black ink outline. Of a male skeleton.
Anyone else notice that his head is disproportionately smaller than the rest of his body? How can he possibly be an effective predator when he looks that ridiculous?
Wow - that is a gorgeous photo! I love it!
His head is much higher than his body, so it isn't quite as small as it may appear - but I'm sure it's plenty small anyway.
I wonder if that is the lobby to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural Science?
My, what a big wang you have!
I never found anything this cool while I was on campus. (I went to the same school as the finder). Though, I did find a list of girls with phone numbers, and then next to that, STD's. I should have kept it.
I love this picture...it's not that early, and it still took me a while to figure out it wasn't a black paint design on a cool floor. Duh. Great find!
Is that the head? I though it was the tail. the perspective seems like the tail.
Actually Marie it's called the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History to be anally exact.
I can't say weather this picture was taken there, but they do allow photography if I remember correctly.
I'm not sure quite what it is about this photo... it's rough and interesting. I love this photo! The skeleton over the geometric ceiling is a great contrast.
I had no clue what this was. I'm still not really convinced. I think it looks more like some kind of opposite-x-ray (where the bones are black instead of white) of a dog laid over an image of yucky peeling wallpaper, then a picture was taken, THEN the skeleton dog chewed up the bottom corner for some nourishment (to get some meat on those bones, hardeeharhar). neeway.
That is NOT a head, y'all. It's the tail. The head has been cut off.
The picture didn't even finish downloading and I knew it was a dinosaur skeleton. I feel so smart (usually I don't know what the pictures or notes mean until I read some comments so I was feeling especially smart knowing I got this one). This picture kind of reminds me of the T-Rex skeleton in "Night at the Museum."
That's its head? I thought it was its tail.
The best thing about foundmagazine.com, is that it's pro-bon[e]o publico.
I have a bone to pick with you guys - you're all boneheads.
Time to clean some skeletons out of my closet...
Sorry.
Someone managed to snap a picture of the inside of Christopher Walken's head. Great job!
this is, by far, my favorite find.
i always wish i could take pictures like this one.
The bottom right corner looks like the profile of a punk rock Abe Lincoln.
Yo Stickler, the correct word is whether. Weather is temperature, rain, sun, clouds, etc.
I don't think its a predator - I'm pretty sure its a "long neck" or a bronchiosaurus. The perspective is thrown way off from that neck! I love the "punk rock Abe" in the corner, too.
the punk rock Abe is a pretty good likeness. I think that might be my favorite part of the photo. along with the idea that someone took the picture of an off-center half of a dinosaur skeleton. I hope it was a child on a field trip...
Wow, love this! I'm a huge dino-geek; I very nearly majored in paleontology.
That's definitely a sauropod, one of the big "long-neck" plant-eaters (you can tell by the legs and feet). Dominique, there's no such thing as a bronchiosaurus, but it could certainly be a brachiosaurus or apatosaurus. That does look to be its head; the heads of these dinosaurs were really quite small compared to their bodies, and the crazy perspective makes it seem miniscule.
i thought it was two legs, a rib cage, and a penis.
when i read the picture caption and it read "I have to guess that someone small took this one." i found it hilarious because i thought it was a reference to the penis.
learning it was a dinosaur moments after was quite disappointing, actually.
Katie in Chapel Hill, you made me blow South Fork Mountain Spring Water out my nose. And then several people thought your comment was serious. Best comment of the day.
The "bronchiosaurus" had chronic respiratory pain.
Is this an audition for Mystery Science Theater 3000?
Now we know why a major figure in the development of human paleontology was named Leaky.
I love how simple this picture is, yet artistic. They obviously wanted to fit the entire dinosaur into the shot, so it almost feels like a desperate attempt, but it is an amazing shot. If it was a child who took this, lotsa kudos to them.
So this is totally a picture of Sue in Chicago! I am a dork and had to take out my photos for comparison. So the place is found.
This picture was taken at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, and it is of a Barosaur.
Here is a picture taken at another angle:

JQ- it is not sue.. in the first place, sue is a T-rex... secondly, you can't get close enough to her to take a picture like this, and thirdly, the ceiling at the Field Museum is not arched above Sue.. it is flat in that area, arched behind the display where there is a second story, by the mural.
This picture is freakin' badass. I love it. great find.
Place Taken:America Museum of NAtural History, New York, New York
Time"Mid to late 60's, possibly early seventies
Taken by: A young kid with a Brownie camera
I knew exactly where this was as soon as I saw it. I was practically raised in that museum. It made me really happy to see this glimpse from my past!
Definitely taken from a kid's point of view.
I still think it's a tail and not a head.....although it does look like a penis now that you mention it.
i still dont beleive that this is a dinosaur.. i really really thought this is a human rib cage, a left leg + foot, and a penis!
Okay...
To the people who thought this was a human skeleton:
A) Humans do not have penis bones, though some mammals do. Since this is only a skeleton, that cannot be a human penis.
B) Human hip bones do not come up to halfway up the ribcage.
C) Every bone is out of proportion for it to be human.
Dinosaurs didn't even have penis bones that often, so chances are that object in question is a tail shot at an awkward angle making it appear much shorter than it actually is.
this is gorgeous. and why do the ribs bones seem to be curving up instead of down? and jewel in fla, where is it from? what is it? fill us all in!
At first I thought this was a picture of linoleum tiles that was messed up in the developing.
nicole in detroit-ish:
If you click the forward or backward arrow and then come back to this find (without the comments), you'll be able to see the entire photograph. When the comments are showing, the left side of the photo is cut off.
Cheers!
That's definitely the head, shot from almost directly below. The reason it appears so short, and the skull so small, is because the neck is angled away from the camera, placing the skull much farther away than the rib cage. Also, look at which way the toe bones are pointing.
