Specialty Human Skulls
Really Special Human Skulls-
Sometimes we have skulls that are a little bit different. They may be demonstration skulls - skillfully prepared to illustrate anatomical principles. They may be antique preparations or simply from countries that do not export anymore. Or perhaps decorated or modified into something new. These specimens transcend their anatomical origins; their skillful preparation elevates these skulls to works of art.

Demonstration Human Skulls
These skulls are skillfully prepared to illustrate anatomical principles. They generally will have muscle insertions painted on half of the skull, windows of bone that can be opened to view the anatomical structures underneath, as well as cut calvaria and a spring help mandible.

Edentate & Other Special Human Skulls
To be edentulous is to have no teeth, or in the case of human skulls, to have lost teeth before death and have the gums healed over the socket. These skulls are not technically prepared in a certain way, but because they are not very common and usually unique to the elderly, we consider them a special find. |
| |
We do not have any fully edentulous human skulls at this time.
Please call us at (510) 526 5252 or email, evolve@boneroom.com
to be placed on the wish list.

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.
