Skull Power!

This one may be my choice for the Macro Mondays theme of beads for 6/12, bc it’s a real departure from my “norm”- not blue, no duckies. The skull is a bead and the letters are wooden beads. There are 9 bead possibilities altogether and there are others I didn’t post!
Will put up the size verification pictures in a bit- each wooden letter bead is a tad over 3/8th of an inch or 1 cm.

Allen die Halloween feiern: Happy Halloween !!!
Den anderen wünsche ich für morgen, ein besinnliches Allerheiligen.
Everyone who celebrates Halloween: Happy Halloween !!!
I wish the others a peaceful All Saints' Day for tomorrow.
Die Totenköpfe habe ich auf dem Friedhof in Chammünster geschossen. Eine der ältesten Kirchen hier im Landkreis, mit ihren 900 Jahren.
I shot the skulls in the cemetery in Chammünster. One of the oldest churches here in the district, with its 900 years.

This is a 2 inch skull captured with a long lens for testing purpose. I finally had time to go through some old files from last year.
It was pretty quiet in the rapids today so we could climb a bit up in it and take some pictures. Unfortunately, it seems that I got motion blur on a part out of the pictures, although I used the tripod.
I had a fun evening with a few photographer friends a few nights ago. Incense cones were placed inside the skull creating the smoke. I added a texture to the image.

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
Once a beautiful tree, today a sad skull. Carved by humans to impress, for many years, the wooden skull has witnessed the passing of Halloween nights, with hollow eyes and a heart full of rings.
Happy Shocktober!! 💀🎃 HSS!
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and taking the time to comment or fave! Much appreciated!
A special attraction is the chapel located in local cemetery, where you can see collection of skulls signed name and profession of the deceased. Skull decorated with floral elements belong to women.

Hallstatt. Szczególną atrakcją jest kaplica znajdująca się na miejscowym cmentarzu, gdzie można obejrzeć kolekcję czaszek podpisanych nazwiskiem i profesją zmarłego. Czaszki ozdobione elementami kwiatowymi należą do kobiet.
Skull Rock in Joshua Tree National Park is a granite rock formation with two depressions like eye sockets created by erosion. It is located near the road so is a favorite stop for visitors. I waited quite awhile to get a shot with only one person in it. Most of the time there were several people clambering around on it. The person gives a sense of the size of the formation.

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of dried. These seed pods remind me of mini skulls or even "The Scream" by Edward Munch or maybe my imagination has gone off the scale!

This skull replica, on display at the Gwacheon National Science Museum, belonged to one of the most effective predators of the Late Jurassic period, roughly 155 to 145 million years ago. Its fossils have been found primarily across what is now North America, with possible remains in Europe. The name — "different lizard" — was given in reference to its unusual skeletal anatomy, which set it apart from other dinosaurs known at the time.
Scientific Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Saurischia
Suborder: Theropoda
Family: Allosauridae †
Genus: Allosaurus †
The two bony ridges above the eye sockets are among its most recognizable features. Paleontologists believe these crests served a social function — species recognition or visual display — rather than any structural one. The skull itself, despite its size, was relatively lightweight, with internal openings that reduced mass while still allowing it to handle the stresses of hunting. The jaws were lined with dozens of serrated, backward-curving teeth designed to grip and hold. Some researchers have proposed that Allosaurus drove its upper jaw into prey in a downward hatchet-like motion, relying on neck muscle force rather than bite strength alone.
Most individuals measured between 8.5 and 10 meters in length, with some exceptional specimens possibly reaching 12 meters, and body weight estimates generally fall between 2 and 3 tons. As the dominant large predator of its environment, it likely targeted animals like Stegosaurus and younger sauropods, while also being an opportunistic scavenger — a behavior common among large predators both extinct and living.
Native to the forests of mainland Southeast Asia, Neofelis nebulosa remains one of the least-studied big cats, and cranio-dental studies such as this offer valuable insight into its unique skull morphology.
This specimen, shown here from five angles — right and left lateral, dorsal, ventral, and frontal — illustrates one of the most distinctive traits in the living Felidae: relative to skull size, the clouded leopard has the longest upper canine teeth of any extant cat — a proportion that has long drawn comparisons to extinct saber-toothed predators such as Smilodon.
The rostrum is moderately elongated compared to other pantherines, providing space for the deep canine roots visible in the lateral profiles. Well-developed sagittal and nuchal crests anchor powerful temporalis and masseter musculature, producing an exceptionally strong bite force for the animal's size — an adaptation that allows it to subdue prey considerably larger than itself.
The dentition follows the general felid formula, but the upper canines are dramatically hypertrophied: laterally compressed, finely edged, and disproportionately long relative to jaw depth. This forces an unusually wide gape, reflected in the shape of the mandibular condyle and coronoid process. The frontal view shows the narrow interorbital region and robust zygomatic arches, while the ventral view reveals a reduced postcanine dentition, with carnassials specialized for shearing flesh rather than crushing bone.

Scientific classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia

Suborder: Feliformia
Family: Felidae
Subfamily: Pantherinae
Genus: Neofelis
Species: N. nebulosa
🐾 Replica specimen | size: approximately 19x12cm
Beyond its remarkable skull, Neofelis nebulosa is a highly arboreal cat, among the most agile climbers in the felid family. Exceptionally flexible ankle joints allow it to descend trees head-first, and its long tail — often as long as the body — provides balance while moving through the canopy. It hunts both on the ground and in trees, preying on deer, wild boar, primates, and birds. Elusive and largely nocturnal, it inhabits dense tropical and subtropical forest, where its cryptic, cloud-patterned coat provides effective camouflage. Habitat loss and fragmentation across its range have made it increasingly rare, and much of its ecology and behavior remains poorly documented in the wild.

Skulls, are being empty skulls
Filling their empty lungs
With the wrong kind of drugs
Baby what have we become
Are being empty skulls
Dumb enough for blood
Forgot about the love
Just another empty
Skulls!
Crocodylus siamensis is native to mainland Southeast Asia, where it inhabits slow-moving freshwater rivers, swamps, marshes, and lakes. Its historical range extended across Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and parts of Indonesia, including Kalimantan. Compared with other large regional crocodilians such as C. porosus, it is generally considered less aggressive toward humans.
In mature individuals, the skull develops pronounced bony crests in the posterior cranial region, including a distinctive crest associated with the squamosal region and a median ridge extending anteriorly between the orbits. These features become more pronounced with age and may be considerably less developed in juveniles and subadults. The present specimen appears consistent with a juvenile or subadult individual, with a relatively smooth cranial profile. The rostrum is relatively broad and of moderate length, consistent with the generalized cranial morphology of the species. Dentition is moderately heterodont, as in other crocodilians, with differentiated conical teeth adapted primarily for seizing and holding prey rather than specialized crushing.
• Siamese crocodile
• Cocodrilo de Siam
Scientific classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Crocodylia
Family: Crocodylidae
Genus: Crocodylus
Species: C. siamensis
Today, the species is Critically Endangered in the wild, with its remaining natural populations concentrated mainly in Cambodia, together with small or localized populations elsewhere in its former range, including Indonesia. Most individuals are held in captivity, particularly in crocodile farming and breeding operations. Hybridization with C. porosus has been documented in commercial captive facilities and represents an important conservation concern, as hybrids can be difficult to distinguish morphologically and compromise the genetic integrity of captive breeding and reintroduction programs.
