Biggles	posted 10-Apr-2009 5:31pm Having spent a great deal of time in recent months dissecting a head and brain, I have to say that brains are surprisingly heavy and skulls are surprisingly light. Assuming you haven't dried the brain out, and the skull has had all non-bony tissue (flesh) removed, I would say that the brain is a fair bit heavier. A dried out brain is probably lighter than a skull - I can tell you for sure after my next visit to the dissection room though!
