His skeleton was deposited in the Museum of the ecole de Medecine de Paris.

In the same Museum there was another similar skeleton, but in this subject there was motion of the head upon the first vertebra, the lower jaw was intact, and the clavicle, arms, and some of the digits of the right hand were movable.
An ossified man has been recently found and exhibited to the Paris Academy of Medicine.

He is a Roumanian Jew of thirty who began to ossify twelve years ago, first up the right side of his back, then down the left side.

He has hardened now to the nape of the neck, his head is turned to the left, and the jaws are ankylosed.

He can still move his arms and legs a little with great difficulty.
Akin to the foregoing condition is what is known as petrifaction or ossification of portions of the living human body other than the articulations.
