Comments
Sad when Bones has fewer anatomy problems this week than a university does.
According to the news story, the bones were only in a preliminary state of being studied. If that is the case, then maybe the photo was taken before everything was finalized. So that could explain why some of the bones are wonky. However, can you please explain what is sketchy about the left metatarsals? The ribs issue is kind of obvious, that the fragments were not mended or matched 100%. However, were there any other issues that you can tell?
