The Bone Room is the place to come for real human and animal skulls and skeletons, genuine fossils, quality bone and fossil cast replicas, framed insects, and all manner of weird and wonderful things.
As the web's premier natural history store, it's only natural that we have a huge selection of natural history related material.

skulls, skeletons, framed insects, fossils
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I'd been into the natural sciences as a kid, but I never thought I could make a career out of my childhood interests until I met a guy - a rocket scientist who owned a bone store. A romantic relationship became a business partnership - and now I get to study and sell cool things for a living.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We just are different. Intrinsically. Because very few businesses want to deal with things you would find in a natural history museum.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Just the one online warehouse - no plans to expand at the moment.
