Do You Sell Any Endangered Species?We don't sell any species on the U. S. Federal or State of California Endangered Species Lists. However, we do have some CITES (Convention on the International Trade of Endangered Species) listed species. There is much confusion between these two lists. The Federal Endangered Species list is specific to the United States and controls the possession and interstate transportation of threatened and endangered species within the United States. The California list does the same thing for our state. I Don't Want a Real Bone, Can I Have a Cast Instead?We offer skull casts of many animal species. Generally, casts are made when animals are either impossible to acquire for legal reasons, or exceptionally rare. A cast is a replica that is made from an original specimen (as opposed to a sculpted or modeled replica). A mold is made using the original skull, and this mold is then used to make positive versions of the skull in polyurethane, resin, hydrastone, or another chosen material. | Do You Carry Elephant Ivory?We do not carry any kind of modern elephant ivory. I Found a Whale Bone on the Beach. How Much is it Worth?Truth is, a whale bone has no commercial value to us. And it may be worth a hefty fine or jail time to you. This is because almost all marine mammals, including whales and seals, are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. Like the Migratory Bird Act, this law prevents the trade or possession of Marine Mammals, in whole or in part. We occasionally carry fossil marine mammal parts as well as casts of many species. I'm looking for Raven/Hawk/Humming bird feathers. Why don't you carry these?We only carry bird parts from domestic or game birds, such as chickens, ducks, pheasants, pigeons and emus. We do not carry parts of ravens, crows, hawks, owls, eagles, hummingbirds or any other wild bird species. These, and most other bird species, are fully protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Pieces or parts of the species listed by this act are illegal to sell or even to possess. This includes skulls, feathers, eggs and nest parts. However, we occasionally carry casts of some of these species, please inquire. I Found a Bone. Can You Identify it For Me?As much as we like to help our customers, we are not a bone identification service. While skulls are often simple to identify, individual post-cranial or fragmentary remains can be very difficult, especially when not seen in person. And while we know our local animals, we are not necessarily familiar with species from other parts of the country. You Have a Skull of an Animal I Want. Can I Get a Complete Skeleton?As you browse our website, you will notice that we offer many more animal skulls than complete skeletons. This is due to the amount of labor that goes into preparing a complete skeleton. There are not many people who do this work, as it is messy and time-consuming (and it tends to annoy the neighbors!). As a result, articulations are expensive compared to loose bone and so are primarily restricted to animals commonly used in teaching (the main market for such preparations). We can try and acquire a complete skeleton of a specific animal for you, however be advised that the wait may be long and the price will be substantially higher than for the skull alone. |
