This detailed natural cast of a broken up human skull can be disassembled into 22 individual bones. The
skull sutures, depicted in a slightly simplified way, are equipped with inconspicuous, stable connectors
used to reassemble the individual bones.
The skull consists of the following individual bones:
1 Parietal bone, left
2 Parietal bone, right
3 Occipital bone
4 Temporal bone, right
5 Temporal bone, left
6 Sphenoid bone
7 Frontal bone
8 Ethmoid bone
9 Vomer bone
10 Palatine bone, left
11 Palatine bone, right
12 Inferior nasal concha, left
13 Inferior nasal concha, right
14 Upper jaw (maxilla) with teeth, left
15 Upper jaw (maxilla) with teeth, right
16 Lacrimal bone, left
17 Lacrimal bone, right
18 Nasal bone, left
19 Nasal bone, right
20 Zygomatic bone, left
21 Zygomatic bone, right
22 Lower jaw (mandible) with teeth
To ensure the maximum life of your 3B Scientific® Skull Kit please follow these instructions for mainte-
nance and handling:
• Please ensure that the skull is completely reassembled after each demonstration and stored in an upright
position.
• Avoid excessive heat, e.g. prolonged exposure to sun.
• Light soiling can be removed with a mild soap solution. Please use no detergents containing solvents, as
this could damage the material.
A290 Skull Kit – Anatomical Version
All 22 bones are depicted in their natural bone color.
A291 Skull Kit – Didactic Version
The 22 bones are depicted in 9 different didactic colors so that the individual skull bones are easy to distin-
guish. Each pair of bone plates has the same color.
Assembly and disassembly of the skull
The illustrations on pages 6-15 show the order in which the individual parts of the skull should be assem-
bled. When disassembling, please proceed in the opposite order. On the illustrations, the individual bones
are marked with numbers that correspond to the above terminology. This may be helpful especially for
the Anatomical Version since this version does not provide identification by color. The arrows indicate the
direction in which the skull bones are assembled and disassembled.
