Human Male Skull with a .32-Caliber Gunshot Wound

Bone Clones®. Plastic. European male, 25 years of age, modern specimen. Cast from an original skull that is in a North American medical school forensic osteology teaching collection. The appearance of the projectile damage to bone is crucial in differentiating entrance and exit wounds.

Typically, as a projectile (such as a bullet) passes through a plate of bone, fragments of the bone follow. The result is a characteristic beveling (or open fanning) of the bone in the direction of projectile motion.

This forensic bone captures all of the osteological and forensic details of the original and comes with a detailed analytic report.
