This real human spine and sacrum specimen presents with significant pathological features, including severe degenerative changes and an L6 vertebra fused to the sacrum—a rare anatomical variation. Sourced from retired physicians and accredited donor programs, this specimen exemplifies our commitment to advancing scientific knowledge through authentic human remains. Its unique pathological presentation offers valuable insights into spinal conditions and anatomical anomalies. 

We believe education is the greatest gift osteology can share and that every human specimen can contribute to the advancement of science. These specimens are provided to us by retired physicians, medical researchers, dental professionals, and former university medical programs. We also work with accredited donor programs. A small sample - often antiques that simply do not qualify for medical/research grade usage - are made available to osteology enthusiasts worldwide so that they may continue to educate and inform.
