What I also find interesting in these sharp photos is that there seems to be a claw-like appendage made from wire in the middle of it, as well as some sort of smoke they put near the model that is more apparent in some shots than others.
I swear I cannot see that appendage; I WANT to--I just can't do it.. The most detailed shots are the third, fifth and eighth; I see a vague suggestion of something like a claw in one but not the others. In the movie, when the miners get got, a large mass kind of reaches around them, but appears to be made of the same jelly/fog/angel-hair as most of the Xenomorph. The model Bill Malone made for Bob Burns features spindly claws on either side of the head, well below the eye.
