Gernot Redeker: Hi everyone. Can anyone give an indication of how old this foetus could be? Bossie Boshoff : Not sure on age, but these 2 pictures were taken from a necropsy on a poached animal years ago. Morne de la Rey, [11 Oct 2022 at 15:32:29]: Get the sizes: Length of head (crown to nose) Length of spine (crown to tail) Gernot Redeker, [11 Oct 2022 at 16:20:41]: Unfortunately I did not do the PM, it was done by the police and forensics department... Morne de la Rey, [11 Oct 2022 at 16:31:19]: It should be mid term due to its development, but not last term due to underdeveloped skin and nails.... It looks small for last trimester also comparing to the twigs. Guesstimate: 8-10 months Would love to know other ideas please?!? Michelle Otto, [13 Oct 2022 at 08:02:51]: Agree. Would also estimate 8-10 months. From 11 months you normally start seeing more pronounced skin folds over the ribs and legs as well as more defined skin texture
