Very good plastic skull model. As anyone studying anatomy will tell you, no two skulls are alike so it's impossible to say id this is an exact replica or not, but what I can say is that it has the detail needed for any osteology or medical student's needs. The structures are exaggerated which will make studying the features easier with few flaws (ie, there is no superior nasal concha, the basilar suture has an extension of bone that protrudes into the cavity area that I have never seen before...usually the spheniod and occipital bones are flush) but do not detract from the overall production of the model. All the sutures are marked with orange/red lines and many of the landmarks and features are numbered already. The model also comes with a card with all the numbered features identified.
The only thing I don't like is that the skull cap is not kept in place by anything other than pins and holes inline with the bone unlike other models that have a swing latch in addition.
Overall an amazing deal for the money.
