thoughts on this halloween decoration that still hasn’t been put away?

Oooo not a bad looking fellow! Little bit wonky from the front but they've got the general shape. Odd bit of bone next to the teeth looks like it's fusing the maxilla to the mandible. Sutures on the temple are pretty good except missing the coronal suture (goes over the top from temple to temple). Got the left infraorbital foramen in the right place but none of the other foramina (inc the right infraorbital one!) and lots of random looking holes on the right side of the maxilla and mandible? Much like myself this fellow looks quite handsome with a 3/4 view but somewhat less so when staring straight at the camera 7/10 I would never put them away!

#ask the judge #judge your bones #thanks for this it's got me back in the judging mood #littlemsterious #maxilla = facial bone (technically plural bones) where the teeth come out #mandible = lower jaw bone #suture = place where skull bones have fused together #infraorbital foramen = small hole in the maxilla under the eye socket (one on each side)#foramina = plural foramen = a hole/passage/opening often in bone

Thanks for the tag! Not a fan of this fellow! The way their maxilla curves makes my face hurt. Good shape on the mandible though the teeth are maybe positioned wrong but that's none of my business! The rest of the skull has lost some of its shape and has some extra ridges. This fellow Does have some accurate foramina though!!! 4/10 Love the sunglasses!!

How do you feel about this object

#judge your bones #the teeth/mouth just really unsettles me #maxilla = facial bone (technically plural bones) where the teeth come out #mandible = lower jaw bone #foramina is plural foramen #foramen are holes/passages in bones that nerves and blood vessels can go through #cant remember if other stuff goes through them too but maybr #*maybe #tag the judge
