Fabulous Preserved Cephalopods
A Bone Room employee in the days of Ron and the shop on Solano Ave, Mikayla has gone on to develop her own plastination method. In her words: Every cryodesiccated creature is uniquely processed and subjected to forces that include, but are not limited to, extreme vacuum pressures and temperatures as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit...Once the specimen has fully sublimated, it is introduced to a proprietary sealing procedure and structural reinforcement technique with a biopolymer developed by ScientificWoman to ensure the longevity of the art piece.
Ron would have been so proud of her! As are we. We are thrilled to be offering cephalopod preparations from her collection - tentacles and whole octopus and squid specimens; in Mikayla's words: peculiar products that educate artistically.

When we were kids, there was always a jigsaw puzzle on the coffee table at Christmas, and everyone worked on it at some point during the day. It's a nice tradition - and we have entomology-themed puzzles sure to drive the relatives crazy!

The Bone Room Amber Room is an online store, dedicated mainly to inclusions in amber. Note that though the site is already extensive, it's only the beginning, as we have only just started to catalog the collection of amber (and copal, and burmite, and amber jewelry) we have to offer. We hope you will return from time to time to keep an eye on additions and developments.
We have designed the website so that the customer can search by insect order or by type of amber. Please note that most pieces are illustrated by several photos; click on a specimen to see more details about that piece.

Ron Cauble, founder of The Bone Room, was obsessed with inclusions in amber. At Fossil and Mineral Shows he would typically be found seated at an amber dealer's booth, a great pile of amber pieces before him, peering through a loupe at the world inside each piece.
Over the years, some of the pieces were sold to collectors and scientists (most notably, to George Poinar, recognized amber expert and author) - but Ron was always a better collector than salesman, and his collection grew to museum backroom proportions.
Finally we are getting a good start on cataloging and photographing his enormous collection of amber and copal, and offering this work of love and obsession to the public. We think Ron would approve.
