Was that a xeno skull burning in "Predators"?

Saw "Predators" last night and I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere so I thought I'd ask. First of all, congratulations to the director and his crew for doing the impossible - they actually made a BORING Predator film. I thought AvP2 was dire. Even with its relatively short run time(and no third act - apparently they ran out of cash), I was STILL checking my watch. Cliché ridden and derivative, this was a STINKER.

Anyway, I was looking EVERYWHERE for a hint of my favourite aliens, the xenos and I think I may have seen them. When they come into the camp with all the alien skeletons and the other normal predator hung up, we get a quick glimpse of a long, elongated alien skull burning. It looked JUST enough like the famous bonce of the xenos from "Alien".

Did anybody else catch this?

I won't say this was enough to redeem this steaming pile but I will take ANY mention or image of the horrific and fantastic xenomorphs, even if it IS in a godawful piece of shit like this.

Sure, why not? I doubt it was the head of Alfredo Garcia.

It's a bit silly to say "xenomorph", isn't it? It basically just means "alien".

Sure but myriad SF stories feature aliens. Since the species from the "Alien" film series have never been named many people have takent o simply referring to them as "xenos".

Sure but it only gives the appearance of solving the problem.

Interesting points. I have to say, despite all the various aliens that inhabit these movies, television shows and literature that we discuss here, when I hear "Alien" (or see the word written with an upper case "A"), I immediately and directly think of "Giger's" Alien. Other species get recognized by their own label, but the creature that Ripley battled has usurped the term Alien in my mind!
