Bones are a natural product. Variations from the photos concerning colour and shape are natural and shall be accepted as such. We do not have any influence on variations in tooth abrasion for mammals either. The skulls offered do not include any secondary skeletal parts in the region of the head such as tongue bones or sclerotic rings. None of these points shall be accepted as reasons for complaint with demand for compensation in the case of any complaints received. Any subsequent breakage of bones or teeth, in particular due to incorrect handling or storage are excluded from any warranty or guarantee.


8.2 Guarantee conditions

All photos show examples of the preparations/specimens, which only show the appearance of that specific species. When you place an order you do not receive the exact specimen shown in the photo. All measurements stated are average values. The delivered product can deviate from these, so it can be larger or smaller.
