California Dog-Faced Butterflies - We are uncertain which breeds of dog are represented, but these are cheerful yellow butterflies in riker mounts.
Indiana Leps- moths and butterflies collected and mounted by our founder. This was a June activity of his for years. Some are slightly damaged, but still an inexpensive keepsake.
A water buffalo tooth pendant, made special with a turquoise bead. From Tibet. Strung on a turquoise-colored metal pop-chain.

Small rock collections are always good gifts for youngsters - and these include information about mystical connections. We like the disclaimers on the package - 'For amusement only'; 'See a doctor for health problems'.

Flexicalymene - one of the Moroccan species. Ordivician 'Flexies' are found around the world; several species of the Flexicalymene genus are found in the U.S. The little Phaecops species we were selling for $7.50 (https://www.boneroom.com/store/p1927/Small_Moroccan_Trilobite_in_Matrix.html) has risen in price beyond what we think is reasonable; but never fear, if you're wanting a nice inexpensive trilobite we now have these 'Flexies' for $5 each. An even better deal!
And now a word from weather-worn Texas:

BONE ROOM TEXAS
Alligator Bones. Bone Room Texas already carries alligator skulls, heads, teeth and dried feet in different forms. Now finally we have a supply of ribs, vertebrae, different sized scutes as well as toe bones and leg bones. Surprisingly sturdy bones.

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.
