Where are the chrysals then?

not fracture, failure. didn't know how to explain it any other way. it looks like it happened in two places because it tapers off in the middle break. I feel like the middle break popped off between the two other horn.
if you look at the drawing and where the it breaks in the horn are, assuming that where the horn broke throughout the horn is the weakest spots, it looks like if it were put too much strain on, the middle break would pop off. and i also think its pretty curious that where it broke on the middle piece, that they both tapered to a point.

I took a real close look at the remains. It was the cracked limb. If the failure followed the crack which I assume it would the crack must have been at an angle like the picture. That is starting to look like a delamination of the horn to me. If the crack was deep enough it's possible that the CA never reached the bottom of it. So maybe the crack was just waiting to bite me. Anyway that's as far a speculation will take me. It's just a WAG anyway.

How else would it fail? If not due to compression? :)

The most disappointing failure in doing most things is when you try it 2-3 times and failure is evident. Thats when I throw that project in the heap pile (brain and scrap bucket) and start another one. :}

All that stuff is just a state of mind. Free yourself! Failure is a fantastic things as it teaches you thinks far more effectively than easy successes. Of course we are brought up like this now through the media.
Embrace 'failure' because it isn't a 'failure' its one step closer to understanding.
