Dinosaurs in ancient Egypt ? (It's NOT a scorpion!!)

I visited the British Museum.On one of the relics there was what seems to be a very accurate depiction of what looked to me like an Elasmasaurus DINOSAUR.. Can anyone tell me what this heirogyph signifies? PLEASE see also my film 'submarines and aeroplanes in ancient egypt' for more strange carvings on this artefact...If you think it's a scorpion, please post a photograph of an egyptian hieroglyph showing a scorpion. I've scoured the web and can't find one to compare with my dinosaur..

To be honest at first I thought it was probably a scorpion-but I realized, if you look at the column and not just the individual depiction, it's actually appears to be facing the wrong way to be a scorpion. Looking at it from left to right,,as you would with all the other figures in the column, it indeed looks very similar (with the exception of the tail) to the Australian aboriginal depiction of the Bunyip. So not dissimilar to the Elasmasaurus-as Vampirebelerius suggested.

Sorry kiddies, but it’s the hieroglyph of a plucked duck prepared for consumption or sacrifice (with the consonantal transliteration of “snd“ or “snt“), and it means “timid, fear”. And it’s the origins of the Sa’idic Coptic Egyptian word “cnad” or “cnat” (“fear”) -- s=c in Coptic. I used to collect dinosaur toys when I was a boy also. Have fun.

People should understand that everything you're taught at school is not 100% fact, sometimes something gets proven wrong, but if there is no replacement, they leave it there. Diniosaurs being one of those things, there are still some dinosaurs. Ever head of the Mokele-mbembe or the Loch Ness Monster? well, there real and there many witnesses that have seen them. So the question is not, HOW did dinos go extinct? But instead DID they ALL go extint?.

Correction, an Elasmasaurus. A plesiosaur has a longer tail.

I'm going to keep my mind open to the possibility that this is a depiction of a plesiosaurus. Do this, type plesiosaurus or plesiosaur into any search window, Yahoo, Bing, Google etc and click on images then take another look at this video. Can we say we definitely know that it is not a plesiosaur even though it sure looks like one. The Egyptians were not sloppy with their heiroglyphs and I've never seen a duck with four feet. If you don't agree based on what you see, that's cool.

Scorpions look like silverfish, but depictions are rare, because this animal was feared; search for Serqet(Selkis), her name is written: door bolt(S)-mouth(R)-hill(Q)-loaf of bread(T). "Your" hieroglyph is a part of a blessing for a dead person( Egyptians had hoped, that afterlife would be exactly like this one, only without suffering), and means: (may you catch) a plenty of aquatic fowl, when you hunt in the reeds, sort of "have fun".
