Hi frenchbulldogsrock, as cool as this spotting is will you please remove it from the "Identifying Animals Through Osteology" Mission?

Osteology is actually the study of vertebrate bones (not exoskeletons). It's a detailed study of the structure of bones, the skeletal elements, teeth, morphology, function and disease. Osteology aids in identifying vertebrate remains with regard to age, death, sex, growth, and development.
