mounted skeleton
Display of remains
A mounted skeleton is a skeleton that has been assembled and displayed on a frame or support structure, typically for educational or scientific purposes.
Museums mount dinosaur skeletons and human skeletons for exhibition.
Medical schools use mounted skeletons for anatomy instruction.
The mounting involves wiring bones together and attaching them to a stand or armature that holds the skeleton upright in a natural pose.
