Forensic scientists have examined the human bones found in sand hills near Nora Creina last week.

SA Police say a member of the public found the bones last Wednesday morning.

Local police immediately attended the area and were joined by Adelaide-based forensic investigators at the scene the following day.

The bones were then taken to laboratories in Adelaide for further scrutiny by anthropologists.

One Adelaide newsroom has speculated the bones belong to either a child or a small adult but SA Police Media has stated it has not released any information of this nature.

The origin of the deceased and circumstances of the death remain unexplained.

Ayone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au.
