Success

Of course!

You break the bone down to its individual detail: The exact attachment of the joints, its thickness relative to its length, the presence of grooves or gaps. [...] what looked to belong to one group now seems to come from elsewhere in the tree of life.


Failure

Unhelpful

Looking over your sketches, measurements, and tables of osteological features, you arrive at a conclusion: the animal you are examining must have been half bird, half crocodile, all confusing.
