This really needs some careful studying to really absorb it all. I threw this chunk to the side years ago while cutting firewood with my bro. It was a maple burl with mushrooms growing on it. It didn’t even look worth burning. I sliced it, planed it and slapped a 1/2” round router bit in an air grinder, then held on to remove all the grey matter around the brain. The nasal passage, mouth and esophagus appear unobstructed. There is little spinal damage. There is however some damage to the lateral geniculate body of thalamus which leads me to believe that this body wood have experienced problems with the motor tracts that last left the cerebral cortex, possibly caused by extreme trauma after hitting the ground from the 100 foot fall. Notice also the hardening of the superficial temporal arteries. Upon close observation one can notice that the left internal jugular vein is constricted. The cause of death is therefore determined to be the complete severing of all capillaries causing excessive hemorrhaging and eventual oxygen depravation.

sometimes the wood doesn’t have to be anything…just itself…

Thanks Cameron, you’ve answered some knotty questions. This sagital section clearly shows the characteristic pitch or tar subdural hematomas seen with SSS. (sudden stop syndrome). Thanks for the post!

It is amazing what we see in wood – instead of the physical aspects of parts of pieces of the body – I see a poor old critters face – that was either born with problems or was in such a hellish fight that it disfigured him.

hahaha that’s hilarious—or is that being disrespectful to this person and his untimely demise?
at first I thought it was a bear peeking out of a cave…. but then as I read “brain” I looked back and there he was ….
awesome

Interesting, but to have his neck at that angle, he (and I only say he, because I’d hate to see a woman with a face like that) must have broken his neck in the fall also. I really hope that, no scientist sees this, they’ll use it as more evidence of evolution. It’s bad enough they want us to believe, we came from some kind of ape, now they’ll think we came from a tree. Well, apes do live in trees…...maybe…..
