While some of the remains were mixed, about 100 undisturbed burials were found with fully articulated bones, in roughly the correct position and relationship in the body.

Both sexes have prominent horn-like structures called ossicones, which are formed from ossified cartilage, covered in skin and fused to the skull at the parietal bones.

If the skull bones are not completely ossified when the hydrocephalus occurs, the pressure may also severely enlarge the head.

The backbone and tail were supported and stiffened by ossified tendons, which were tendons that turned to bone during life ( these rod-like bones are usually omitted from skeletal mounts and drawings ).

Basal lungfish groups may retain marginal teeth and an ossified braincase, but derived lungfish groups, including all modern species, show a significant reduction in the marginal bones and a cartilaginous braincase.

Several long, thin bones identified on the blocks as ossified tendons ( structures that helped stiffen the tail of Deinonychus ) turned out to actually represent gastralia ( abdominal ribs ).

Bennett did not speculate on which possibility was more likely, though the discovery of a pterosaur embryo ( Avgodectes ) with strongly ossified bones suggests that pterosaurs in general were precocial, able to fly soon after hatching with minimal parental care.

While these changes are occurring, the bones, which at first consist principally of cartilage, are gradually becoming ossified.

The typical snake skull has a solidly ossified braincase, with the separate frontal bones and the united parietal bones extending downward to the basisphenoid, which is large and extends forward into a rostrum extending to the ethmoidal region.

The nose is less ossified, and the paired nasal bones are often attached only at their base.

In adults, red marrow is mostly found in the marrow bones of the femur, the ribs, the vertebrae and pelvic bones.

Trabecular bone ( or cancellous bone ) is the sponge-like bone in the ends of long bones and vertebrae.

The traits listed by Lydekker in 1896, for example, include a single occipital condyle, a jaw joint formed by the quadrate and articular bones, and certain characteristics of the vertebrae.

The fact that the plesiosaur's long neck had an unprecedented 35 vertebrae raised the suspicions of the eminent French anatomist Georges Cuvier when he reviewed Anning's drawings of the second skeleton, and he wrote to Conybeare suggesting the possibility that the find was a fake produced by combining fossil bones from different kinds of animals.

The characteristics of anuran adults include: nine or fewer presacral vertebrae, a long and forward sloping ilium, the presence of a urostyle, no tail, shorter forelimb than hindlimb, radius and ulna fused, tibia and fibula fused, elongate ankle bones, absence of a frontal parietal bone, presence of a hyoid plate, a lower jaw without teeth, an unsupported tongue, subcutaneous lymph spaces between the skin and muscle layer and a protractor lentis muscle attached to the lens of the eye.

In birds, ribs are present as distinct bones only on the thoracic region, although small fused ribs are present on the cervical vertebrae.

In order to correct it, she had to undergo an 18 month ordeal of painful stretchings, body casts, surgery on her spine using pieces of one of her shin bones ( used to add supports for the individual vertebrae without risking foreign body rejection issues ), and a recovery from that surgery.
