Pretty sure you're not supposed to use those like currency anymore, what with that whole civil war thing and all.

Kids skull with all their baby teeth + adult teeth

There was some confusion when this was on reddit, yesterday I think.

Obvious when you actually look at the skull, but if you raped and murdered a child with their baby teeth, decapitated the corpse, and then threw the head into a plastic bin ($12.93 Walmart http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-...Quart/19868993) containing beetles in order to clean the meat/blood/sinew off of the head, the baby teeth wouldn't be visible when you removed the skull for a few weeks later.

The jaw has been ground away to reveal them. This ruins the value.

Oh I assumed there was some alterations to open it up so you could actually see the teeth (I didn't read the thread, just opened it up and was like "Holy shit that is cool"). I don't think it really "ruins" it, disection is pretty awesome for seeing how the human body (or any body really) works. I am disappoint I didn't see something like this when I went to see Bodies.

Really? You mean if I push my finger against my jaw I wouldn't be able to wiggle around my teeth through my skin?

Go ahead and try to sell a ground up kid skull in this market.

Did you happen to see the hand that was perfectly dissected?

EDIT: If you're squeamish, don't click. Beautiful dissection of a human hand: http://imgur.com/GJLXb

I mean that a child who still has their baby teeth "retains" their teeth in the lower jaw bone, which is sort of a spongy bone to put it very simply. In the case of this picture, the lower jaw of the subject has been ground away to reveal the yet to erupt adult teeth, dumbass.

Oh okay. Thanks for educating me.

Um... does this very intimate and detailed description scare anyone else?
