Medically prepared human disarticulated skull bones 5cm in diameterThese bones were part of a collection from a medical school museum. This is a collection of disarticulated skull bones comprising of the frontal, two parietals (both left) and a sphenoid. The parietals still have the medical school collection number on them. All the bones have a very pale white colour which would suggest that they were prepared in the second half of the last century.
