More information below:

“The femur bone is the bone joining the hip and knee joints. This femur shows an unreduced bone fracture. This means that the bones were not correctly realigned, using a splint or by surgical means, and therefore did not heal correctly. These femurs are from the left leg and the right leg of a human, although it is not clear if they are a pair. The bones were excavated at Tell Fara, Palestine, by the British School of Archaeology in Egypt, 1928-1929. The bones were purchased by Henry Wellcome from University College London the following year.”

Here is a drawing of a human atlas, also known as the first cervical vertebrae C1. The image above depicts a young/not fully fused atlas, this is shown by the development of the anterior arch of the vertebral foramen (ia) not yet fusing to the anterior portion near the articular surface of the occipital condyles (as). Other notable landmarks include; the transverse process (t)— the transfers foramen directly medial to it, and the groove where the first spinal nerve and vertebral artery go through (g). The atlas has no vertebral body, no articular discs on its superior or inferior, and lacks a spinous process. On the posterior and medial surface of ia is the articulation for the dens of the C2.

Below is a fully fused C1/Atlas.
