[split] f25v little dragon parallels

[Sam G]

Might the "shell" just be a folded wing? That does leave the sea horse like head and the "fin" that connects the back and the tail.

I think so. I don't see any other way to interpret what's going on near the tail end of the animal. I've outlined what I see as the left wing (red) and the tip of the right one (blue).

I see what you're getting at, but do you think those lines you've highlighted in blue could be part of the same "wing" you've outlined in red, if the wing itself is folded or curled over somehow?
