Dog skull, great colour and patina. These are long lived birds

These are long lived birds with a life span of over 55 years although many of the juvenile die in their first long migration

This one would originally have had a skull with it

The razorbill is a colonial species that only comes ashore to breed

All the bones have a very pale white colour which would suggest that they were prepared in the second half of the last century

Dog skull, great colour and patina. These are long lived birdsThis is a real dog skull although I don't know what breed it is from. It looks to be about a spaniel sized breed. This skull has some of the best colour that I have seen on a skull. I can only assume that this has been lying either in peaty water or in a peaty area as the bone colour is a lovely caramel yellow colour which just highlights the white of the teeth. Unfortunately the lighting on the photographs did not show the colour off to it's best.
