The head in question has long been one of the most popular displays in the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, says curator of exhibits Jim Diffily.
Longtime visitors remember it fondly.
Recently it was put on display again for the museum's 60th anniversary. Inquiring minds want to know. Over the years, says Mr. Diffily, museum workers have had their doubts. The most recent doubter was chief science curator Bill Voss, who pronounced it a fake. The Tarrant County medical examiner's office agreed to cooperate, and a couple of weeks ago the head was left with Dr. Dana Austin, the office's forensic anthropologist.
