Biology nerds and gore-ophiles will fall in love with this tiny Solano Avenue shop full of fossils, sundry animal parts, and unusual jewelry — beetle wing or bacula earrings, anyone? (A "bacula" is the penis bone found in most mammals — but not humans.) Browse the aisles for a minute, ponder the weirdly small price difference between the taxidermied blasé pigeon ($150) and glamorous pheasant ($200), as well as the question of who has $900 to spare on a Sumatran spitting cobra skeleton. If you're looking for a quirky gift and are on a tighter budget, consider some chocolate-coated crickets or scorpion lollipops.</span></p> <p><span class="description">©2008 New Times</span><br> <br> <em><a href="press.html">Return to the Bone Room Press Room</a></em></p></td> </tr> </table> <table height="516" align="center"> <tr> <td height="510"> </td> </tr> </table> <p class="footer">© Copyright 2010 The Bone Room (Berkeley, CA)<br> For questions and comments regarding this site, e-mail <a href="mailto:webmaster@boneroom.com"> webmaster@boneroom.com</a><br> For all other inquiries, e-mail <a href="mailto:evolve@boneroom.com"> evolve@boneroom.com</a></p> </td>   <td width="114" id="rightcolumn" border="5" bordercolor="#000000"> <table id="table2" valign="top" border="10" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td align="center"><img src="../icons/wmark_hskull.gif" width="80" height="125" alt="Human Skulls"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="90" height="40" align="center" bgcolor="#000000"> <a href="http://www.boneroom.com" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image17','','../index_images/brlogo_index_desat.jpg',1)"> <img src="../index_images/brlogo_index.jpg" name="Image17" width="80" height="20" border="0">HOME</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="../bone/bone.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image16','','../index_images/toadskele_index_desat.jpg',1)"><img src="../index_images/toadskele_index.jpg" name="Image16" width="80" height="60" border="0"></a><a href="../bone/bone.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image16','','../index_images/toadskele_index_desat.jpg',1)">Bones</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="http://www.boneroom.com/insects/insects1.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image18','','../index_images/bug_desat.jpg',1)"><img src="../index_images/bug.jpg" name="Image18" width="80" height="60" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.boneroom.com/insects/insects1.html">Insects Etc.</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="../fossils/fossils1.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image19','','../index_images/ammonite_desat.jpg',1)"><img src="../index_images/ammonite.jpg" name="Image19" width="80" height="60" border="0">Fossils</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="../misc/bits.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image20','','../index_images/gator_desat.jpg',1)"><img src="../index_images/gator.jpg" name="Image20" width="80" height="60" border="0">Odds & Ends</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="../casts/bclones1.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image21','','../index_images/cast_desat.jpg',1)"><img src="../index_images/cast.jpg" name="Image21" width="80" height="62" border="0">Casts</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="../misc/gifts1.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image22','','../index_images/onyx_box_desat.jpg',1)"><img src="../index_images/onyx_box_index.jpg" name="Image22" width="79" height="60" border="0">Unique Gifts</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="../jewelry/jewelry.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image23','','../index_images/anteater_index_desat.jpg',1)"><img src="../index_images/anteater_index.jpg" name="Image23" width="80" height="60" border="0">Jewelry</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><a href="../newmerchand.html" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image24','','../index_images/baboon_index_desat.gif',1)"><img src="../index_images/baboon_index.gif" name="Image24" width="80" height="60" border="0">New</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="84" align="center"><img src="../icons/wmark_hskull.gif" width="80" height="125" alt="Human Skulls"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </table> </body> </html>
