Chacma Baboon Juvenile Skull Replica

Description

Chacma baboon juvenile skull replica measures 4.7 x 2.8 x 3.7 inches. Papio ursinus skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from California Academy of Sciences specimen. Two-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.

This Chacma baboon juvenile skull replica gives you a clear look at the species during its early growth. The cast features, moreover, a professional finish that highlights the downward facial flex seen in younger specimens. You will notice, in addition, that the surface of this resin mimics the actual weight and porous texture of real cortical bone.

The dental layout shows the presence of deciduous teeth because the permanent set has not yet erupted. This model works, consequently, as a perfect tool for tracking the maturation and dental patterns of Old World monkeys. The durable material captures every fine suture and ridge with 100 percent scientific accuracy for your research.
