MAY NEWSLETTER
It's May (already!) - summer is just around the corner. Mothers' Day is coming up, followed on June 1 by the oft-forgotten Childrens' Day. We have some cool items here for cool Moms, curious children, and also good things for teachers and professors. Is there an Educators' Day? Actually, there are two: Teacher Appreciation Day on May 7, and World Teachers' Day on October 5.
We have always had trouble getting nicely prepped horse skulls. These are not well-prepped - they're from Indonesia, and they take the shortcut of whacking off the bottom back of the skull to clean it out faster. So they're not recommended for anatomical study, but they're still handsome for display, especially the prettily carved versions. $160 - $350

Bronze Roman coins, around 2,000 years old, well-cleaned with fine details on both the heads and tails sides. It's just nice to have something so old. Random choice, $12 each.

These cute rodent carvings from Indonesia can be worn as earrings if the hole in your lobe is big enough. In fact, it could be they made the tail chubby like that just to accommodate that kind of wear; or this might be a depiction of the kha-nyou, a 'new' species discovered by science back in 2005. Of course, the natives had been eating them all along. (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/05/050512201759.htm). Or - it might be a tree shrew. In any case, the moose antler carvings are adorable, whether you wear them or not. $100 each, crouching or begging.

These free form slabs of Indonesian petrified wood can be used to present fruit and cheese at your next party, or put underneath a vase of flowers to protect your non-petrified wood table from moisture, or - they look great just as they are. Polished Petrified Platters, $20 each.

Copper medallions struck here in the U.S., only a year or two old...we were thinking it might be a nice addition to a gift of a TRex tooth or Velociraptor claw cast...but they're also kind of cool just on their own. We always did like copper - such a warm, humble kind of metal. $10 each
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.
