BONE RELATED SITES

The Pratt Museum has been my University of hands-on learning over the last quarter century. Most of my bone
work and skeleton articulation techniques have originated from this award winning institution. It is frequently
acclaimed by its many visitors to be one of the best small town museums in America.

Alaska Consortium of Zoo Archaeologists

This is the site for the Alaska Consortium of Zoo Archaeologists; a group of mostly archaeologists and zoo
archaeologists who have been building up a collaborative collection of animal bones for reference purposes
over the last decade.

Skull Site

This is "THE" site if you are at all interested in bird skulls or bird skeletons (over 1000 different skulls). It also
has a world class cool quiz you can take to see how well you can do at identifying birds by the skull shape.
This is also the source of detailed information about macerating bird bones as a way to clean them.

Skulls Unlimited International

Skulls Unlimited is probably the largest bone preparation company on Planet Earth. They also sell skulls,
bones, skeletons, and even Bone Building Books by a certain; yours truly.

From 1994 to 1996, the Pratt Museum of Homer, Alaska, completed a first-time-ever world class collaborative
project, with students from Homer High School doing the science and articulation work in preparation of
suspending a 41-foot Sperm Whale skeleton in their school. I was the museum preparator who did the
hands-on bone work with the students on this project as well as one of the salvagers of the whale. This award
winning site is all about that project.
