Sasquatch "Alba Vernix" and The Hand Model

 Recently, I had the honor of discussing dermal ridge evidence with Doug Hajicek, who has run numerous groundbreaking cryptozoology programs such as Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science and MonsterQuest. He had sent me this PSA/diagram, of sorts, discussing the oily white substance that accompanies many sasquatch handprints, which some have dubbed "alba vernix". Essentially, sasquatch alba vernix is theorized to be a type of epidermic bodily oil that is left behind in footprints, handprints, fingerprints, etc in the alleged species.
The post contained a handprint, which I have had difficult tracking down, that very much resembled the amateur anatomical sketch I posted on this blog quite some time ago. Make of it what you will. The comparison is interesting, but not necessarily conclusive by any means.
