This site provides images of animal anatomy focusing on species commonly found in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Russell Bone Atlas is a photographic guide for comparing human bones with those of wildlife and domestic animals. Created for search and rescue teams, law enforcement, forensic professionals, park rangers, educators, and other first responders, it supports faster, more informed bone identification in the field and classroom.

The atlas is an educational reference. Suspected human remains should be handled and reported according to applicable procedures and the direction of responsible authorities.
