No problem, Injica...I'm just helping clean up a mission. I'll remove any that I see in the mission. Thanks!
Tnx for info (not that I had 4 years of Latin and ancient Greek), but anyway this was a mistake I made over a year ago and haven't really go through all the spotting to correct each.
Hello Injica, I have removed your shell spotting from the Osteology Mission. Osteology is actually the study of vertebrate bones. 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. From what I understand, shells are actually exoskeletons created by marine mollusks. Thank you for your understanding!
