Were you surprised the bone was solid gold? Did this change things?

Yes I was surprised that the bone was not really a bone but solid gold.

That was surprising. Are they bone under the gold or have they been gold coated to preserve them or gold ones been molded to disguise them?

Yes. I thought the bones would have been - well, just bones.
It suggests that whatever is going on dates back a long, long way.

that surprised me. I thought they were just bones with unique properties.
