This is my personal hobby of collecting animal skulls. The process is somewhat unique by cleaning, degreasing, whitening and then sealing all skulls that are shown in the classroom. This hobby springs from my love for animals and learning how they live. None of the animals in my collection were harmed for the purpose of my collection. Instead they were gathered by way of other avenues like road kill and from Northwestern Ontario trappers etc. These skulls would have otherwise been discarded. The final result of my hobby is a useful real example of the animals in our country.

If you would like a presentation in your classroom or if you would rather have everything you need sent to you in order to facilitate the lesson yourself, please follow the links below and I would be happy to help you plan a date in order to make this happen! Follow the link called Teachers.

For Specimen Donations

If you would like to donate a specimen to these presentations and the animal has died of natural causes or for a reason out of your control, I would appreciate the new example and would like you to follow the link to Specimen Donations.


Need a Skull Cleaned?

I will beetle clean, degrease, and whiten skulls as a service if you have anything waiting to be displayed. I am a perfectionist and am sure we can figure out something that you would be glad to display in your home or business. Follow the link to Skull Cleaning if you are  interested.
