Figure 5: The left lateral view of the skull from the Texas case. Note the perimortem trauma evinced by fractures extending along the parietal bone and a toolmark (shown in the circular outline). Approximately 15mm posterior to the toolmark was an unburned triangular-shaped bone fragment. This would indicate that this piece of bone may have dislodged from its original position prior to the skull being exposed to the heat.
