Museum-quality casting procedures preserve minute surface detail with the appearance and texture of real bone. Its preparation offers a number of advantages over other cranial models and even over real bone skulls. For research, the skull is an invaluable laboratory reference for detailed forensic anthropological, paleoanthropological, and anatomical investigations. For the physical anthropology student this skull is an invaluable learning tool for appreciating anatomical landmarks and cranial morphology. For the medical or dental student this skull is an excellent companion to head-and-neck dissection.
