NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER
Time to get out the Halloween stuff, and some things from the Denver Show:
Got a few more of these wonderfully articulated skeleton pendants and earrings - they move delightfully, and they're sterling silver from Nepal.
Things we unearth in October - Day of the Dead- and Halloween-themed things
From Denver: darling little music boxes with snatches of our favorite tunes - just a few seconds of joy in a nicely decorated box. We're bringing out the Halloween-themed ones now; others will be unveiled in future newsletters.
Armadillo material is strangely hard to come by; apparently most of the ones you see down south are flattened on the road. But we did find a few very well-prepped armadillo skulls. Also, these darling armadillo foot keychains are reminiscent of the alligator foot keychains we used to sell in the store, now available from our friends at Bone Room Texas: alligator foot keychains
Fresh from Europe (via Denver) - new fossils! Beautiful cave bear teeth, and a petite fox mandible. And - the big find of the show - neolithic human material from France.
And more from Bone Room Texas:

With Halloween comes the building of the costumes and we have some items you might be able to use for that final authentic flare to them. With scraps of reindeer (caribou) skins and zebra hide to hippo teeth, dried or skinned feet and snake skins to finish last unique bit to your costume.

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.
