The police and the Muara Gembong subdistrict office are still trying to coordinate with the archeological department to investigate the remains.
Until now they only know that the largest of the bones is 42 centimeters long, and they think that the animal was somewhere between six and six-and-a-half meters long.
Speculations outside Muara Gembong have arisen regarding the kind of animal the bones belong to. Some speculate that it was a dinosaur, some say a prehistoric gigantic man, others think it was a giant crocodile.
