Zoology: Bones

This set of Goat Cannon bones (metatarsals) contains the bone of a healthy individual and that of another individual with pathology. The pathology is believed to be the result of a severe bone infection or metabolic bone disease. This pathology has resulted in the pitting and splintering of the internal and external bone. This infection may have affected other systems in this specimen's body and possibly contributed to the animal's death.
