Human Native American Female Postcranial Fracture Set FM-540-SET $160.00 Order This / View Your Cart These Postcranial bones are from a Native American female who died when hit by an 18-wheel truck. This information was documented at the time of the individual’s death. The perimortem fractures clearly show the damage caused by the intense blunt force trauma. This is especially true of the clean breaks in the os coxae, some of the strongest bones of the body. Also, the fracture of the femur includes the fragment broken from the posterior shaft, a clear indication that the fracturing force came from the front. Includes FM-540 and FM-541. All of the Individual bones are also available. Please see the Related Products below. Please note that specimens from the Maxwell Collection can only be sold to recognized educational institutions and professionals associated with educational institutions. The Maxwell Museum of Anthropology's Laboratory of Human Osteology, at the University of New Mexico, specializes in numerous facets of physical anthropology. The laboratory serves as a repository of human remains and includes prehistoric, historic, documented, and forensic remains. Established in 1984 by Dr. J. Stanley Rhine, the Maxwell Museum's Documented Skeletal Collection has grown to include 237 individuals (as of July 2005) encompassing both sexes, all ages, and many population groups. The skeletal remains are obtained by donation, either by the individual before death, or by the family of a deceased loved one. Information on the sex, age, population affinity, and cause of death is available for the majority of these individuals, allowing students and visiting researchers to develop and test new techniques and theories. Since 1995, prospective donors or their families have been asked to provide health and occupational data as well. With this information, researchers are able to examine the skeletal manifestations of particular diseases including degenerative joint and disc diseases, lymphoma, and osteoporosis, as well as the reaction of bone to repetitive motions and trauma. Recent research has included efforts towards the identification of handedness in individuals, determination of body mass from the skeleton, and variation in cranial damage from various projectiles. The importance of the Documented Collection cannot be overstated. No other institution in the American West has as large a collection of human skeletal remains with such extensive demographic data. Bone Clones is grateful to the Maxwell Museum for allowing us to select specimens for reproduction from their valuable collection and granting us exclusive casting rights to these pieces.
