The biologist P. Z. Meyers argues that the skeleton is clearly that of a fetus. Quote: "It’s 6 inches long, which would make it a fetus around 20 weeks postconception; assuming a fair amount of shrinkage during dessication, I could guess as late as 6-7 months. The pattern of bone ossification -- notice, no sternum -- fits that as well, but it doesn’t fit a 6 year old at all."

I don't think it's a hoax -- just a real discovery to which some ridiculous claims have become unfortunately attached.
