Animal Post-Cranial Bones

Bacula

One of our most frequently asked questions here at The Bone Room is: What is a bacula? A baculum (the singular form, latin for "stick") is a bone found in the penis of most mammals. And no, we don't have one. Humans are one of the few mammals that lack this bone. These dense bones are uniquely shaped for each species and often aid in the classification of otherwise similar species.

Leg & Foot Bones

Assorted bones from both fore and hind limbs. Sorry, but we cannot fill requests for specific leg bones or matched sets.

Ribs

Assorted ribs from a variety of animals. Measurements are approximate, as rib size and curvature will vary slightly with position.

Scapula, Ilia, and other pieces

Assorted bones from the axial skeleton.

Vertebrae

Vertebrae are perfect for jewelry use - they combine sculptural form with convenience - just string them up and wear them. Because of natural variation, all vertebrae sizes are approximate. Measurements are of the vertebral body. Most animals have at least three different kinds of vertebrae, so shape will vary with position. Sorry, but we cannot fill requests for specific or sequential vertebrae.
