Bones

I had studied the bones of a shark, a cat and a human being in undergraduate and graduate school.  But not of a bird.  This might be some type of a vulture.  But I can't find an image in google that can tell me its exact species.

So it's a type of bird that either starved to death or became prey in the wild (hmmm.... isn't that the gist of the animal kingdom in general: eat or be eaten?).

Finding this somewhat reminded me that there was a transient moment in my childhood that I wanted to be an archaeologist - when I can discover an extinct species and then name it with just about anything that fancies me (perhaps the origins of minzski).

Actually, I technically did not find this.  B did.  Ha!
