Back from Tucson with many good things:
Fresh fossil-bearing stone dinosaurs from Morocco by way of Tucson - get your own herd of thunder lizards - Apatosaurus? Brontosaurus? Whatever you call them, they were magnificent, solemn and gentle, as the first 'gasp' moment in Jurassic Park. Now you can recreate that movie moment on your shelf.
It's not too early to be thinking about that upcoming pagan holiday, Easter. We have eggs, plenty of eggs, and their price has not gone up for years. Real blown chicken and turkey and quail eggs; ostrich eggs, carved and not carved; stone eggs, fossil eggs, bismuth eggs, pyrite eggs, eggs with bits of fire opal set in them. And we have little frogs, too - we think they'd be fun added to the candy in the plastic eggs. We're also putting rabbit-y items in our Easter selection: skins and skulls and silver necklaces, yay!
Fresh Pleistocene fossils from Europe - all the best carnivores: wolves, hyenas, bears, many of them bearing (sic!) evidence of a former existence in a collection or museum.
Back in stock - a partial list of stuff we picked up in Tucson to refill the shelves:
Fishy Dishes
Dino Bone Bones
Hyrax Skulls
Scythian Arrowhead Jewelry
Carved Bone Femurs (sale!)
Yay! Ukrainian Jewelry
And now, a word from our friends in Texas:

It is a claw and tooth kind of Easter.
Great for kids, jewelry makers, science classes or interesting additions into plastic Easter eggs this year are a wide selection of mostly small teeth and claws(toes).

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.
