Hello
Seems like if it was real the dorsal fin would be on his back not his side. But an excellent job. It sure would give you a scare underwater.

the bottom half is real as are the fins on the head. the maker had no concept of anatomy because the spines dont line up. Seahunter is right.

The bottom part is a real fish on it's side. Looks like they used a real fish, with his mouth wide open, and slid the top half into that. If you look carefully, you can see the outline of the fish's head and open mouth under the "skin"

I made the mistake of looking at your avatar first and was momentarily blinded before I could make out the outline of the fish

Silly people from Tampa  "The emails containing these images variously claim the specimen was found on a beach in South Africa, the Philippines, or Malaysia. These were lies made up after the fact. The first place the images turned up was on eBay, where the seller, a Tampa, Florida resident using the screen name "Seamystery," described the sale item as a "golden mermaid found dead on a lonely Florida beach." It was "a few inches shy of being 5 feet long" and lay on a "Fresh natural bed of seaweed." The circumstances of the discovery were described as follows: While exploring desolate areas of Fort Desoto Beach at the southern end of St. Petersburg, here in Florida, I came upon a rather startling discovery. Before me lay what at first appeared to be a very large strange fish. Shocked and amazed, I realized I had found another mermaid or sea monster." http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_merman_carcass4.htm |
The true value of the gold may be the story itself, a testament to man’s ability to believe anything for a chance at such a vast fortune. |
