Welcome

Welcome to Zygoma. This is my personal blog and the views expressed here are not those of my employer (the National Museum of Ireland), they are mine and solely mine.

The disclaimer out of the way, I hope you enjoy my mystery object on Fridays and my occasional thoughts on a variety of scientific, sceptical and museological subjects.

Friday mystery object #266

This week I have an interesting, even weird, skull for you to identify:

mystery266

Any idea which species it belongs to?

It’s pretty distinctive, so if you recognise it please be a bit cryptic in your comments, to let people who haven’t seen one of these before have a chance to work out what it is.

Have fun!
