OMG yall need to see what my friend just scored at a flea market!

My bbygirl Emily @queen-of-the-wild-things got this gorgeous antique partial human skeleton at a flea market for only $30 bucks!! All she was told is that it’s from a university, beyond that we have concluded it’s a female and she was probably pretty young based on her petite size and non-pronounced brow line, and unfused cranial sutures. If anyone has any further info/conclusions based on these pics PLEASE share it with us bc we want to learn as much about her as we can! You can tell from the green moss stains and the rusty metal bits used for articulation that this cutie clearly has some interesting history!

Another day, another oddity.

is this the right positioning for the digits of an opossum’s front paw? Also if anyone has any diagrams / photos of how the wrist goes together, I’d be super appreciative!! 🙏🙏

Hundreds of teeth found in Downtown Valdosta wall

Here’s the article. Someone on the newspaper’s FB page linked to the above image of the teeth. Crazy find! Apparently a dentist lived there in the early 1900s. But how did the teeth end up in the wall? My guess is they were dumped through something like THIS which was a common way to dispose of sharp objects (and possibly nasty things like extracted teeth!) back in days gone by. 

Wish I could find a wall full of teeth when rehabbing a place! Sadly it sounds like the construction crew threw all of the teeth away.

i’m still going to make a post with all the stuff i ordered, but i really wanted to share this stuff!

[crowchucktaxidermy]

the wide range of movement in a parrots upper mandible. typically, a birds upper beak isn’t movable and is fused to the cranium through bone and/or muscle. in parrots, the various bones that make up the upper palette and mandible have adapted to allow the beak to move alongside the lower jaw opening, as an adaption for manipulating objects and eating tougher foods.

this bird is a blue-crowned parakeet, who used to be a pet. their skeleton will be articulated for scientific and educational purposes.

The Minke Whale Quest continues!

On August 7th we successfully tracked down a huge dead minke whale in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Unfortunately, due to a combo of short tidal windows, a dangerous access point and sheer size, it was not practical for us to retrieve the skull.

This afternoon we’re giving this insane mission another shot… assuming Mother Nature hasn’t stolen our treasure!
