Don't trust collectors who say that nasal turbinates don't matter.

The inside of an animal’s nasal cavity tells us lots of information about the environment it lived in and the family it belongs to. Aggressive treatments such as boiling damage them: anyone who uses those methods to “clean” bones is not a true enthusiast.

While they might not be as colorful as parrots or as charming as penguins, we love vultures and today is their special day. Join us in celebrating these incredible scavengers. Take a closer look at our Lappet Faced Vulture specimen on our website here https://www.skull-index.com/species/birds

Anthropologist-approved 100% accurate depiction of what it's like to lay out hand bones fucking CARPALS in anatomical order.

Finally done with the rattlesnake skeleton articulation, after yrs of sitting as a pile of bones I had since 2012 I finally put it together.

Wasn’t in the best shape as the person who dispatched it used a shotgun, plus I’m assuming I lost some over the yrs of moving around, but it’s finally done. I’ve had to replace some of the missing parts using wire. But it’s finally done!

I hope you like him, he came all the way from the outskirts of Amarillo tx and was a male diamondback rattlesnake, and my first ever skeletal articulation!

Im thinking of naming him Jake after the infamous rattlesnake Jake

Anyway enjoy!
