The Seabird Ostelogy Pages slowly developed from a site that showed the variety of seabird skulls to an online ostelogical collection of seabird skeletons for various uses.

It still shows and explains the diversity of seabird skulls and bones and their development, adaptation to environmental and ecological circumstances. It also provides good examples of the most important skeletal parts that can be of use in taxonomy and in identifying seabirds found on archaelogical sites.

The Seabird Osteology Pages are a private enterprise, predominantly based on a private collection. During the years of it existence it has got support and encouragment by a good number of seabird researchers and some museums that have provided material to show. This online collection will expand in the future since there is still much material that has to be photographed.
