Shaw's new body parts? (spoiler image)

I think it looks like she 'grew' that structure.  It seems it may be a chest plate of sorts (mutated ribcage?) and she has been cut open and the chest plate structure has been rotated over her face and placed behind her head.  I landed on this due to the skin in the neck area.  It has been intentionally cut and if you look close you will see exposed chest/neck muscle tissue by the "v" in her shirt.  Or maybe just specific elements are of the chest structure, and are rotated up via the autopsy.  So unnatural that it is challenging to comprehend.

What I can say for certain, is that is the worst STD ever...

Thoughts?

With the upcoming movie we heard about here today that starts filming in 14 months, "Awakening', that should hopefully give us the story of what happened to Shaw.

“I think it looks like she 'grew' that structure.”

@ Spearfish Interesting choice of words. This got me thinking about the Spacejockey in Alien and the comments made about it looking like it grew out of the chair. I wonder if this is a clue or nod to Alien in some way.

@ Chris. Happy to see you like the new signature, it’s been a bit overdue.

Spearfish

I think you may be right. Take a look here.

A. Somewhat looks like they could be her hip bones.

B. Seems as if they may be arm/leg bones

C. Open rib cage? Possibly even upside-down?

If you take a look at this image, that cavity in the body appears large enough for both rib cage and hipbones to have been removed.

The thigh bones may have even been removed to make more room for the eggs to grow.

So David removes all of this from the corpse to allow more growing room and then crafts it into a crown for the holy mother of his perfect organism?

We shall see.  But that is my bet as well.

This may be because the picture is blurry, but I think the cross section through the body(rib cage area), looks like the cross section of a Xeno egg.

I 100% agree. The picture is blurry so we can't say for sure but that is definitely what it looks like.

“IF” the first egg was Shaw and she was the origin of the first facehugger, then would’nt that make her a queen?  So maybe the object behind her is meant to be a queen’s crest or certainly infer that.

I think you are right, she grew the first egg with the facehugger. And I think I've found this egg. Its slices can be seen in the new featurette 'Rare Breed':

Yes, I think we collectively have solved this mystery.  This end for her is ironic, as the 'road to damnation is paved with good intentions'.  She wanted answers, and couldn't reproduce, but now she is the mother of an abomination that is set to eliminate mankind as were the engineers she was chasing to ask 'why eliminate us?'.

You are brilliant and this egg-fact is shocking.

This is probably a long shot but it looks like an engineer helmet cut in half.  

I think that David was experimenting on her physiology if she is indeed the egg layer to see if the embryo from the facehugger would inherit the traits from her.

I love what @illegalAliensSignedUp said: 

"In her search for god she birthed the devil. "

I am still digesting the fact that the iconic, unholy egg is originated from Shaw. I need to lie down.

The fact that Shaw layed the first egg is exciting, UNFORTUNATELY, Shaw is dead. :(
