It is certainely plausible, however it does bring up a few problems in my mind. First off, I doubt the precursors would have any motive. Considering the fact that the humans from Alterra have access to advanced scanning and 3D holographic tech, and that the precursors were leagues ahead of said humans, it is unlikely that they would need to flip the skull to create an accurate reconstruction. Secondly, if the precursors did move the skull, why would they simply flip it and leave it in place, in what appears to be a position that follows the natural curve of the creature's body. If they had the intent of studying the entire skulls, they most likely would have moved the skull closer to the base, where they might more conveniently study it. Also, as previously stated, the skulls alignment sits along the seemingly natural curve of the rest of the body, suggesting minimal tampering with position. Along with the geologic shifting that has happened around the body, it seems to me that the precursors only retrieved samples from the ribs and left the skull alone and that it was simply flipped by slow shifts in the geography over the millions of years.
