breed:
i'm saying that the skull could be a relic of a medical study cadaver, and as such would be property of whatever institution performed research on/with it.

that would also mean they would have the right to dispose in whatever way they see fit.

if i were them? heck yeah, i'd clean up the skulls real nice and shiny-like and sell 'em on ebay.

There is still part of a tooth intact. This could be used for medical and dental study.
there's another one in much nicer condition (doesnt have the weird brown coating on it) going for $150 down the page a bit

If any of you watch the show "Mythbusters" on the discovery channel, one time they bought a skull for one of their experiments. So obviously its not illegal to own one. However, I'm not sure if you're allowed to own a skull purchased from a grave robber. You might want to check up on that.

Load of bull. So now I get to visit him one or two weeks a year. Yay. :/


Anyway, the point being, this was a long time ago, like middle school/elementery at least 6 years ago. So. NoPicsForU

yea mine was clearly not for medical testing as it has no marks on it or reconstructive matieral that I can see.

Secondly the animal skulls I found looks similar to the human skull while the store bought animal skulls look perfectly white and clean...

bh, the only thing I would worry about yours is the kinda illegal way you came a hold of it, private exhuming of corpses is usually frowned upon

agreed, bighoss.

you have no reason to be concerned unless you start announcing publicly that you're in posession of a stolen skull.

hmmm....

I was tempted to bronze a skull and use it for my ratchet shifter in the Cuda.

Hmmm...why would you want a real human skull anyways?
The only girls your gonna impress with one are the gothic nutter slut thats gonna slit her wrist the next time you talk to a girl without her express permission anyways, so why bother?
If you really want one, make one out of clay
