Arthritic Fusion of Spine - Natural Bone Specimen
The piece showcases dramatic arthritic fusion, where bone growth has locked multiple vertebrae together into a single solid block.
These vertebrae display rugged textures, weathered surfaces, and traces of moss, giving it an earthy, organic aesthetic. The spinal canal and process structures remain visible, highlighting both the natural anatomy and the unique pathological changes that occurred during the animal’s life.
This piece is ideal for:
- Anatomical study – a real example of degenerative spinal fusion.
- Oddities collections – a rare and visually captivating natural pathology.
- Art & display – its sculptural form stands on its own as a conversation piece.
A one-of-a-kind specimen that tells the story of both function and flaw, captured in bone
This vertebral section has been left in its found state without cleaning.
