Description

What is the Bone Room? The Bone Room is a store in Berkeley specializing in natural history items. We're the place to come to for real bones, genuine fossils, quality bone and fossil replicas, exotic insects, and all manner of weird and wonderful things. Visiting us is like a trip to a mini-museum. We are a source for teachers, artists, illustrators, collectors and imaginative gift buyers; it's "the best store on earth," according to an ardent twelve-year-old customer.The Bone Room was created in 1987 by Ron Cauble, who simply wanted an excuse to learn more about Natural History. It started out as a small room in Cauble's previous business, The East Bay Vivarium, a reptile emporium still located in Berkeley, California. Sixteen years, and three moves later, our merchandise has expanded from just bones to include insects, fossils, shells, fossil and bone casts, and those ever-popular animal remnants. In fact, most anything relating to natural history can be found at the The Bone Room!Ron's credentials include a Ph.D. in chemistry and subsequent work on the development of rocket fuel and 23 years in the study of herpetology. In his never-quite ceasing appetite for knowledge, he has since left all this behind to continue on his path of peculiar careers. Establishing The Bone Room has provided both himself and his customers with a forum for the appreciation of natural history objects.
