AUGUST NEWSLETTER
We are expecting an African skull shipment to arrive sometime this month; please keep an eye on the mammal skull section as we will be posting the skulls (baboons! kudu! caracals! giraffes!) as they are processed.
We Sell Seashells...Ron used to say that seashells gave you "the most beauty for the buck" - this from a guy who loved bones, teeth, and amber. Then again, seashells are exoskeletons, and as a chemist Ron did a lot of thinking about how seashells are formed of calcium carbonate rather than calcium phosphate; I've got to admit, I just think they're pretty.
We recently refreshed our seashell shelves, and got in some items that have been out of stock for a while, like Venus Combs and Large Sea Urchin Spines. We also got some fabulous new shells, like the polished Sarmaticus, an incredibly handsome sea snail from South Africa. Enjoy!

Old Bone Room Favorites - We used to be unable to keep rabbit pelts in stock - of course, when they were in the actual store, people could touch them (they're irresistible); that can't happen online. The price on rabbit skins went way up a few years ago, and we had to raise our price from $4 to $10/skin - which hurt sales even more. The price has gone down again, not quite to the 1990s price, but low enough so we can make them $5/skin. You'll have to take our word for it that they're just as soft as they ever were.
Lucky rabbit feet remain at the same old price - $5 for a package of 5. We sell them only in the natural colors. Another old favorite in the store, cow horns, are still just $5 each. They come to us as single horns only; we can sort of match them by size and color if requested, but be aware they are not actual pairs, and won't be perfectly matched.

This 3" Megalodon tooth, made into a pendant with a repousse' Nepalese silver clasp in the shape of an Asian dragon, is a large and heavy piece of jewelry. We've put it on a braided leather choker, but if you have a heavy chain you like better, it's easily changed as the bale is generously sized. One of a kind.
We have an overabundance of articulated human skeletons at the moment, and would love to send some on to their forever homes. So for the months of August and September we are going to take 20% off the posted prices - just in time for the fall semester!
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.
