The Bone Collectors

Having a hard time finding a place that is just for people that focus on collecting bones? Well I had that problem and this blog is to unite the novice and the seasoned bone collectors. Here there will be pictures of different kinds of bones, how-to's, and anything else I can find that pertains to bone collecting and a little bit of taxidermy. (Pelt and limb preservation, jewelry, etc)
Me, being a bone collecting novice, will try to help put forth as much information as possible so we can all expand our knowledge, bring back this dying art that's most commonly frowned upon and have a bad-ass collection of bones ;D

Here’s another one to mark off the Holy Grail List! It’s a Miniature Horse! But not just any miniature horse skull.

This is a really unique and special piece. Not only did this little guy have some very strange teeth but he also had a rather tragic death. One day not too long ago, he was grazing in his pasture with other mini horses, llamas, regular-sized horses, and a big Percheron. Everything was peachy-keen until this other little miniature horse decided to be a bit of a prick. He snuck up behind the Percheron and bit him. Naturally, the big draft horse reacted violently and kicked out at the mini horse that bit him, only to accidentally clock this one right in the head, killing him instantly. Wrong place at the wrong time. The biter lived to bite another day.

I’ve never seen another skull like this and I’m just over the moon to have him in my collection. He’s one of my new favorites and I hope to treasure him for many years to come. More pics once he’s cleaned up, including some comparison shots next to my big draft horse skull.

Sorting out mole bones and wondering how I’m going to piece the skulls back together and put the teeth back in. Magnifying glass and steady hands, please.
