Bones Et Cetera

My own personal collection of oddities and antiques, where to find them, and my adventures in maceration and skeleton articulation. All photos are my own unless otherwise specified. Feel free to ask me anything!

Hi! I'm a dental hygienist and for a while I was collecting extracted teeth at my office from patients who didn't want them. They've all been sterilized in an autoclave. I have a selection of molars, premolars and even a few anterior teeth. They're mostly all intact and I thought you might be interested in them. I was originally trying to collect a full dentition so I could frame it or something, but honestly they've just sat in a drawer for years. Is there a way I can contact you privately?

I haven't been on my tumblr in quite some time, and I'm trying to catch up on some messages. You can email me at [email protected]'m definitely interested, mystery dental hygienist friend!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack. Wow, I haven’t been on tumblr in what, like, almost 6 months? Gonna catch up on all my messages and stuff, but for now, here’s a picture of me from today, dressed up as Lydia Deetz for Halloween.

Here’s the jawbone I found in the creek!

I think I’ll be able to clean it up, bleach it, and seal it, and I can keep it on display. 8D I want it next to my betta tanks.

I have never seen a bone straight from the wild before and this will be my first attempt at preserving bones. This is totally new to me.

So… skunk? Weasel? Dog?

Looks more of the shape of an opossum jaw to me! Lovely find! :)

[bonesetcetera]

Found it at a dog park

Hmm I can't tell what kind of bone fragment it is but still very cool!

these human or animal teeth? if an animal, what animal? or is it a variety

[bonesetcetera]

154 human teeth to be exact!

Jesus Christ Were these people just giving you them? How did you come across/acquire them?

[bonesetcetera]

A woman got them from a dentists estate sale and she sold me the whole lot for an insanely decent price so I had to scoop them up!

The pictures from Hannah's visit are back, so expect a huge photo post fairly soon!

So last week I purchased this amazing piece, which is definitely a holy grail item in my eyes. It's a legal walrus skull, purchased from my good friend Alex who I am so grateful to have in my life as someone I can really learn from in the collecting world, and I respect and look up to him as a sort of "mentor." I couldn't be more excited to add this piece to my collection, and to acquire it from someone who is so experienced in the world of oddities. So guys, here it is!

[bonesetcetera]

Going to be posting close up photos of my collection tomorrow!

Also going to be revealing an amazing piece I acquired last week. Things have been so busy getting ready for Hannah's (aka watserbones) arrival in two weeks!

[bonesetcetera]

If I took close up photos of each of my shelves of oddities with details, is that something you guys would be interested in seeing?

[bonesetcetera]

I may have just spent a whole lot of money on an amazing holy grail piece for my collection.

Oops.

A picture of my bedroom, just some of my shelves of oddities. The three other walls of my bedroom are covered in taxidermy and other antiques and oddities.

I also love vulture culture.... you havent been on for a while hmphhhh 0.0

I haven't been on in a while because people kept harassing me over the Leah drama which I honestly had no control over, personal issues that I was going through in December, and then I was working two jobs plus going to school full time. I really hope to be back on here more frequently now that (hopefully) the Leah shit will be put to rest.

Weird, her ears aren't pointed in that mugshot? Was she lying about the pointed ears?

Couldn’t tell you, honestly. I never really noticed her ears. It wouldn’t surprise me though.

[bonesetcetera]

She would superglue them for pictures.

[bonesetcetera]

How do you feel about Leah after finding out that she not only scammed many more people, but that she has been arrested now?

I have nothing to say. Karma takes care of people.
