What animal does this skeleton belong to?

Asked by susanc (16139points) July 2nd, 2011

Someone brought me a found skeleton. No legs, no skull, bones clean, porous with age, pale grey. About the size of a cocker spaniel. Long tail. Chunky bones. The mystery: besides ribs on each side of the body extending off the spine, there’s a row of at least twelve big serious bones sticking straight up, starting at the neck and extending backward before they peter out and the spine turns to tail. What on earth?
