Welcome to The Bone Room Online
SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER
What a month, what a summer, what a year this has been...we all need to take a break and think about natural history. There's exciting news in Anthropology! Possibly another branch of the family tree has been discovered in Sulawesi (https://www.timesofisrael.com/7200-year-old-skeleton-unearthed-in-indonesia-reveals-unknown-human-group/). As Ron would have said, it's an exciting time to be alive...
African antelope skulls graced the walls of The Bone Room from the very beginning; they make for impressive decor. Of course with the larger animals - kudu, gemsbok - you may need a rather high ceiling to accommodate the spread of the horns, but the perky little impala and springbok fit in just about anywhere.
We did pick up some more of the lovely inlaid ammonites while in Tucson - the pyrite inlays are new to us. We hope to obtain some of the pendant and perhaps earring versions of these in Denver in a couple of weeks...
Carved in Indonesia out of water buffalo bone, these double-pronged sea turtle hair sticks are charming and durable. Simple, effective, and inexpensive.
Pathologies evident in human bones have long held a fascination for those of us in The Bone Room. We have set up a special section of the website just for these cringe-worthy specimens.

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.
