{{Quote|The Osseus species grows a single thick stalk from which emerges a wide, broadly circular, pitted endoskeleton.

'''Osseus''' is a genus of alien organism found on [[planets]] and [[moons]] with thin atmospheres across the galaxy. They can be sampled with the [[Genetic Sampler]] and scanned with the [[Short Range Composition Scanner]]. They have a clonal colony range of 800m.

== Description ==
Ossei are named after their bony skeleton. They are easy to confuse with round rocks and typically look like giant mushrooms from afar. Recognizable with Night Vision from 300m.<ref>CMDR VitoRazoR, [https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/123enkb/exobiology_a_2023_updated_guide/ Exobiology - a 2023 updated guide]</ref>

==Types==
There are six known morpho-types of Osseus:

*Osseus Cornibus
*Osseus Discus
*Osseus Fractus
*Osseus Pellebantus
*Osseus Pumice
*Osseus Spiralis

== Distance ==
Minimum distance between two genetic samples: 800 m

== Conditions of occurrence ==

* Planets with thin atmosphere
* Only on Rocky, High Metal Content or Rocky Ice (for Osseus pumice) planets
* Only present on rocky areas on planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27

== Osseus cornibus ==
[[File:Osseus Cornibus Turquoise.jpg|thumb|Osseus Cornibus Turquoise]]

=== Description ===
''An osseus species that produces a stacked series of spiral structures up to about three metres. These ridged features are upturned to better absorb sunlight for photosynthesis.''

* Planets with thin Carbon dioxide atmosphere
* Only on Rocky or High Metal Content planets
* Only present on rocky areas on planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27
* Mean temperature between 180 K and 195 K

== Osseus discus ==
[[File:OsseusDiscus.jpg|thumb|Osseus Discus - blue]]

=== Description ===
''An osseus that appears as half-buried discs with radial patterns, which may resemble natural rook formations from a distance. They absorb geothermal energy from below the surface as well as available heat sources above ground.''

=== Conditions of occurrence ===

* Planets with thin Water atmosphere
* Only on Rocky or High Metal Content planets
* Only present on rocky areas on planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27

=== Description ===
''This osseus species can grow to over six metres across. They produce wide ridged frills for metabolic interactions including aosorbing sunlight for energy production.''

=== Conditions of occurrence ===

* Planets with thin Carbon dioxide atmosphere
* Only on Rocky or High Metal Content planets
* Only present on rocky areas on planets
* Maximum gravity: 0.27

=== Description ===
''A species of osseus with a single broad stalk from which extend wide circular structures, with the largest plate capping the top to maximise sunlight absorption.''

=== Conditions of occurrence ===
