Skulls

Skulls! One of our best sellers of all times! Here is a little bit of information to help you choose the product best suited to your needs: 

First of all, if the skull you order has some or all of its teeth, you should know that cracking in teeth is very normal, almost inevitable, especially if care is not taken to avoid direct exposure to sunlight and even moderate temperature gradients. However, once they have cracked, they are unlikely to crack again. Use any cyanoacrylate glue to secure loose teeth or put broken pieces back together. 

CRAFT: When you come across a product labeled "craft" or "craft grade", we usually mean just the top part of the skull with little to no teeth. 

DAMAGED: The most frequent types of damage you can find on our skulls are missing nasal bones, broken cheek bones (the part under the eye socket) or a missing part at the back of the skull. These happen naturally. Any shot damage will be explicitely mentioned. 

CLEANED BY NATURE: These are skulls that were left to the elements and cleaned by natural processes (insects, sunlight, etc.) They are sold as is and can be stained. That is a feature, not a flaw!

WHITENED: We use two methods of whitening: insect based (which gives a somewhat consistent color but not bright white, mainly used on small skulls to avoid damaging them as they are fragile) and a peroxide based process (mainly used on bigger skulls and gives a more uniform, brighter color)

A2: This is an expression used to denote a product with very slight damage such as broken or missing teeth or small cracks in the bone, some staining but otherwise, the item will be in very good condition

A1: This is an expression used to identify an item that is of the highest quality we offer. Please kep in mind that there is no such thing as a PERFECT natural item. Irregularities in colors for example, are always a possibility. 

The lower jaws of most animals is held at the chin with a seem in the bone which becomes less solid once the flesh is removed. We glue it back together in most cases but it remains a weak point and likely to come apart over time. 

If a skull is missing its lower jaw or missing its teeth, we usually specify that in the product description!
