This app, containing thousands of bones from museum collections, individually digitized, allows you to explore the similarities and differences among familiar species. Compare the evolutionary history of a frog and an ox, or a human being and a bird, by looking at their bones. Whether you are an amateur or an expert, select the level of detail to suit you in the information, and enjoy a fascinating encounter with living organisms !
When the app opens, you have
1 a choice to search by bone or by specimen
2 a choice of language
3 expert mode for more detailed information 1
