This was what came to my mind on reading the title, Sílvia. I remember being fascinated by this in my dinosaur books as a child, the completely different interpretations of where the bones fitted, how the animal was put together.

And the lesson that teaches us about how unless we really have every single piece of evidence - which we almost never do - our interpretation of any circumstance is always prone to error and ambiguity.
