Kronen Osteo / Bone Clones
Address:21416 Chase St. #1, Canoga Park, CA 91304

Web site: www.boneclones.com
Kronen Osteo Bone Clones ® is a series of resin replica skulls, skillfully cast
from the best original skulls available. Made of the highest quality
Polyurethane resin, the replicas are durable and resistant to chipping,
breakage and shattering. Great care is taken to achieve anatomical
accuracy, with attention to details of appearance, texture and weight.
Bone Clones ® skulls are used in comparative educational environments in
zoo and museum "experience" exhibits, by collectors and special effects
companies in numerous film productions. Bone Clones ® replicas are an
excellent way for us to experience, observe, study and "discourage" the use
of real skulls.
The thought pattern behind the Bone Clones ® replication process, we feel,
protects and preserves the beauty of the animals depicted; their uniqueness,
their mystery and their strength which, in many cases, would have otherwise
been lost to time.
Kronen Osteo is especially proud to be a part of an ongoing process to
reproduce all of the primates that were tragically lost in the fire of 1996 at the
Philadelphia Zoo. We have begun with the complete skeleton of the large
male Gorilla. We have also completed the skull of a female gorilla. A portion
of the sales goes to the Philadelphia Zoo to help rebuild and research. Other
primates are also available. Please contact us or check our website.
