Sadly, it seems these photographs do very little to help prove the existence of mermaids. This particular mermaid's origin is rooted on land. Paul Jones, who posted the photos is actually a pretty skilled model maker, who's known for making some creepy creations. But still, it's a pretty odd find on a beach.
