During archaeological excavations in the medieval Saint Servaas Church in Maastricht, a juvenile skeleton was unearthed bearing a highly unusual stapes. The stapes exhibits a double anterior crus, but is otherwise quite normally shaped. This anomaly has not been previously documented. It is thought to be the result of a disruption during the ossification process of the embryological stapedial cartilage. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
