  Is this is what happens to readers at Library Towers who forget to return the books?

  I think the RUI medical school was in this building on Cecilia Street.

  Carol. The skeleton in your picture appears to be female looking at the pelvic configuration. A side view would confirm by looking at certain bone angles. The seated skeleton in the other picture appears to be male. Also, it looks like your skeleton may had borne children.

  Der Mammuth, Elephas primigenius Blumenb. Johann Friedrich Blumenbach gave the woolly mammoth its first scientific name, Elephas primigenius, in 1799 The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was a species of mammoth, the common name for the extinct elephant genus Mammuthus. The woolly mammoth was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with Mammuthus subplanifrons in the early Pliocene. M. primigenius diverged from the steppe mammoth, M. trogontherii, about 200,000 years ago in eastern Asia. Its closest extant relative is the Asian elephant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolly_mammoth
