Description
Mona monkey female skull replica measures 3.5 x 2.4 x 2.6 inches. Cercopithecus mona skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The mona monkey female skull replica exhibits a rounded braincase and a delicate facial structure. This specimen shows a short muzzle while displaying the smooth bone surfaces of a smaller individual. Since the jaw houses sharp molar cusps, it allows for efficient griding of seeds.
This primate possesses a dental formula of thirty-two teeth. Even with smaller upper canines, the bone has clear anchor points for chewing muscles. The cranium contains a thin-walled structure throughout the temporal region.
