Something old, something new...but it's always that way with The Bone Room:

We'll start with something new - a clever twist on hummingbird feeding. This is a hummingbird feeder you can wear! First you fill your Zummr and put it out where hummingbirds can find it and get used to feeding from it, and then you can sit there with the feeder in or on your hand, and the unsuspecting hummingbirds will come to you. You can pretend you're Saint Francis!
Sold as a kit, complete with a stand, 3 'ring' feeders, and a syringe for filling them; or just buy individual feeding 'rings'.

Too late for Valentine's Day, but these amber necklaces are always nice to give or to get. Once again I have only a limited number of them - they seem to only make a few at a time - so if you like them, jump on it.

Sets of seven human cervical vertebrae are tremendous teaching tools for any medical or anatomy student. We have a large number of these sets in our inventory (almost all from a chiropractic college whose founder has retired), and so we are putting them on sale. They were $300 - a bargain at that - but now they're $250. Note that an axis/atlas set alone is $150...here you can buy all seven cervicals for only $100 more.

We got in a few of these human mandibles prepared as dental teaching tools, with cutaways to show the roots and, with the juvenile specimens, the tooth development. Extremely well done and in fine condition.

COVID Boredom Abatement

Since many of you have children who are home for the duration, there may be an increased need for home-schooling or boredom-avoiding materials; we might be able to help a little with that.
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.
