The fetal skeleton is much softer, it has far more bones which fuse by adulthood. also the proporions are much more different, the skull of a fetus is much big in comparison to its body. obviously the fetal skeleton is much much smaller and is more fraile.as development of the facial area of a human develop, the head becomes much less round (so a fetal skeleton would have a rounder head). the face also becomes more defined and features more noticable. I hope this helps.
