     Photograph of a cross-section of bone, showing Haversian systems.
Each Haversian system is seen as a nearly round area.
     The light circular core of each system is the Haversian canal,
through which blood vessels pass.
     Artwork of compact bone show details of the Haversian systems.
     According to "Science in Archaeology," Haversian canals ALWAYS
exist and are always identifiable in bone, despite its age or that it has been
subjected to the process of petrification.

   THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN SKULL IN THE BOULDER

     This is the boulder with the human skull protruding that Ed Conrad
Discovered in 1982.
     It was found with the jawbone facing downward. The Smithsonian
DID ADMIT that it does indeed resemble a human cranium but dismssed
it as a rock or a concretion.

    This is another view of the boulder, with the skull ERECT.

    This is a photo of the boulder at a slight angle, revealing that
the petrified human skull extends above the surface.

     When Ed Conrad requested that the Smithsonian prepare a ground
section to examine the structure of the human skull in the boulder,
the request was denied.

  Ed Sends Smithsonian Granules from Object in Boulder
 
     Ed favorably followed up on the request by Raymond Rye's
request and removed some granules from the rind of the object
resembling a human cranium protruding from the boulder.
     However, before mailing them, Ed examined the granules
microscopically.
     This is because, at this point in time, he had learned
something about the identification of bone that he hadn't known
during his visit to the Smithsonian a year earlier.
     Ed was now aware that bone contains minuscule Haversian
canals and their presence is the conclusive evidence of bone,
even if the bone had petrified.
     This scientific fact appears in the book, "Science in
Archaeology," which states that neither age nor the process of
petrification can remove what are known as Haversian canals,
an integral part of the cell structure of bone.
     He had learned that, since the Haversian canals actually
are  passageways for nutrients to living bone, even the process
of petrification cannot displace them because, as tiny tunnels,
there was nothing there to begin with.
     Therefore, prior to sending the granules, Ed's microscopic
examination revealed the presence of "pinholes" in the thinnest
pieces, virtually identical to unpetrified cadaver bone at the same
low magnification.

              EXAMINATION OF CELL STRUCTURE WAS IGNORED

      Ed wrote to Rye, wondering why the Smithsonian tested for
mineral composition when it was supposed to examine the cell structure
of the granules that had been removed from the rind of the boulder.
      After all, Ed maintained, Rye had stated in his letter: "We
must do a microscopic study of the outer rind to determine if it
has the structure of bone."
      But, according to Rye, this was not done. Or, if it was, the
Smithsonian wanted to hide that fact.
      Ed insists the Smithsonian had supplied an answer to a question
-- about mineral composition -- that did not even apply in this
particular case.
      In any event, in his response to Ed's follow-up letter, Rye
rather surprisingly agreed about the necessity of having the cell
structure examined. However, he offered a weak and sad explanation
as to why the Smithsonian had not done so (although only a imbecile
would even think its experts had not viewed the cell structure
of the granules and HAD SEEN the Haversian canals, thus confirming
the material IS bone and that the object embedded in the boulder
IS INDEED a human cranium).
