Note

for your judging pleasure! From the 'Tombeau de Phelypeaux de La Vrillière'

Ooooo these fellows seem really familiar to me! The carpals are too regularly shaped and the top fellow has too few. Because of the thickness of the forearm bones they've lost some of the shape, also the end of the humerus doesn't look right, but it's not a position I can picture well enough to know what's wrong for sure. Think I can spot some foramina on the skulls, nice 5/10

#judge your bones #thanks for the ask <3 #carpals = wrist bones #humerus = upper arm bone #foramina is plural foramen #foramen = hole/passage through the bone that eg nerves go through #theres also something about the skull but im not confident to say what so im assuming im wrong #ask the judge #i keep forgetting some of my organising tags until the end for some reason recently
