Pig Skulls for Mammalogy
Pig skull replicas for mammalogy – Our collection features the specialized skeletal tools of the suid family. A high, sloping rear crest provides the leverage needed for powerful rooting behavior. The snout also contains a rare, separate prenasal bone for digging in the earth. Each set includes a 1:1 scale 2-part cranium and mandible. These models show the unique pattern of small points and cusps on the cheek teeth. Every cast is museum-quality polyurethane resin. The process captures the rugged bone density and prominent canine sockets. Made in the USA, durable pig skull replicas work well for frequent handling in research laboratories. They provide a clear look at the diverse adaptations of domestic and wild swine.
