Articulated Human Skeletons
Real Bone - Human Skeletons -
These are our professionally prepared and assembled human skeletons. Our sources of human skeletons have remained, but are proving more and more inconsistent over the years . Our best specimens are skeletons imported from India during the 1970s for medical and educational use. We purchase these skeletons from private collectors, museums, estates, etc. Depending on their previous use, they may show varying degrees of wear. We receive a handful of these each year. Occasionally we receive antique American or European skeletons. These are generally larger skeletons, and are articulated in an older style that often retains cartilage and uses felt padding in the vertebral column. Most of these skeletons date to the mid 19th century.
Due to China's recent export ban of human material, our stock is now mainly comprised of re-circulated specimens, and many of our skeletons have now been repaired either by us, a previous owner, or both. Please be aware that because of these conditions, immaculate specimens are becoming rare and each specimen is unique, so call us at (510) 526-5252 or email us at evolve@boneroom.com, to get individual pictures of specimens with your criteria, or to be put on the wish list if one is not available.

Human Bone Laws & Information
In short, it is perfectly legal to posses and sell human bones in the United States. There are a few exceptions and addendums to this including a few states where import and export has been banned, and of course, protected archaeological resources covered by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. For more information and specifics please visit our Bone FAQ page.
Human Bone Price Increase***
While it has not been too long since I was forced to raise human bone prices, I must do it again. Supplies have continued to fall since China, the only country recently shipping significant numbers of human bones, passed a law outlawing their export right before the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
After a much longer period of exporting very large quantities of human bones, India outlawed export from that country in 1985. A
large percentage of the current stock in the U.S. came from those two sources, and with no new country exporting to fill the demand, the
price has increased very markedly.
Hence, we have had to raise prices on all of our natural human bone products as of 3-1-10. - Ronald Cauble, Owner.
