Accidents of Gestation: Mummification
Mummy in Placenta.
This fairly large mummy (perhaps 4 months old) appears to not have mummified completely yet, judging by the large cotyledons and the somewhat moist appearance in contrast with a papyraceous mummy.

The uterus is tightly contracted around the mummified fetus. There are no fluids and there is no infection. The persistent corpus luteum on the left ovary prevents the ewe from cycling.
