It's a very skeleton indictment, if you will. There's not really a lot of meat on the bone of this indictment.

I'd say it's a hunk of meat rather than a bone.

I sometimes think about old tombs and weeds
That interwreathe among the bones of kings
With cold and poisonous berry and black flower:
Or ruminate upon the skulls of steeds
Frailer than shells and on those luminous wings -
The shoulder blades of Princes of fled power,
Which now the unrecorded sandstorms grind
Into so wraith-like a translucency
Of tissue-thin and aqueous bone

- A Reverie of Bone

America forms the longest and straightest bone in the earth's skeleton.

Not much meat on her, but what's there is cherce.

Although the original skeleton is estimated to be 18,000 years old, a child's radius (arm bone) was found in deposits estimated to be 12,000 years old.
