I got this from an antique in Oregon for 6 bucks. The cashier politely told me the cap is fake, only the tail is genuine fur. I was quietly insulted the rest of the day, because I thought he thought I must be an idiot.
This hide is 4' by 5', approximately. I got it 2024 as a Christmas gift. I hope the Amazon Reindeer Skin Factory treated this calf nicely... Wishful thinking.
The last pelt was my first rabbit pelt. I tacked a load of keychains to it, hence the thumbtacks. The rest of the pelts are currently nailed to an Australian flag.
Marten stole, with 2 closed-tan pelts. There's a fake fabric jaw sewn to the lower jaw of one of the martens, for the scarf functionality. Beautiful coloring, very soft, and relatively big.
I picked this up from an antique because I didn't want to leave empty handed. It was overpriced.
One of my crewmates over my summer forestry season found a half-buried bone in the dirt, told me to dig it up. Turned out to be a very weathered elk vertebrae.
I had to scrape out dry maggots from the hooves. Cleaned it as best as I could, it's pretty well mummified.
You can still see the fat and bone.
Neat earrings I found at an antique. The heads are a little less than a square inch in area.
I found this on the trail while doing field work over by the Snake River. Looks to be the tail of a sagebrush lizard.
Gifted to me, an alligator foot keychain.
Picked up at a gas station in Oregon.
Nymph of a tea seed bug.
A frog-legged beetle.
Yellow Sac Spider, a common house pest.
I picked these out of a few owl pellets from the area, all of these bones are from mice.
These are also from owl pellets, all mice. There's 3 skulls in this bottle. I found more, but my fat fingers crushed most of them.
I found these jaw bones in a field at one of my campsites over the summer season. It was a young cow, as shown by the points of the teeth.
I let my crewmates take teeth from this one.
I got this from an overpriced antique for 5 bucks, about 7 inches in length.
Shell of a red-eared slider, common house pet.
Winter wren, I found it dead in the house. Preserved in a brine solution.
I found this wren a few days ago, headless, being carried around in my cat's mouth, at 7am, right before leaving for school. Preserved in a brine solution, as quickly as I could.
Side view of the headless wren.
This is the wing of the first bird I ever preserved, a winter wren. I was going to preserve both wings, but I botched the other one, really scuffed it up. Preserved in a brine solution.
Side view of the wing.
This is the head of the same bird, preserved in isopropyl alcohol.
Closer view of the head.
Legs of the same bird, preserved in isopropyl alcohol.
Closer view of the legs.
Another winter wren. This one was dead in the garage, real mutilated, so I only took a wing. Preserved in isopropyl alcohol.

I always worry to buy newer pieces in case the poor thing was killed in a fur farm or something of the sorts so I just look for the stuff thats already out there :D it does have the added benefit of being slightly cheaper too hehe
i do desperately want replica skulls too! just unsure where to buy them HERHEHAHHE! my school has a cat skeleton and i just droll over it! i also visit a museum with a replica sabertooth and domestic cat skull. replicas are always a good option and i reeeaaaaallllllllyyyy want some,,
ive also got a mate who hikes a lot and hes got a museum, as he calls it, of bones. coolest guy i know honestly! he made me a matching bracelet with bin chicken and bush turkey vertebrae

You can find free bones everywhere! Plenty of roadkill to go around. Burying the body and waiting some good while for all the stuffs in the ground to eat the meat and all that is a pretty common practice... I will dig up my cat in a year or so... Free cat bones
