Sabertooth Cat, Smilodon Skull, 1:3 Scale
TSBC-018T

Did you know we produce scaled down models of some of our most popular products?

This 1:3 scale Smilodon fatalis (saber-toothed cat) miniature was created by scanning the full-sized (1:1) Bone Clones® BC-018T, printing at 1:3 scale. We think you will be amazed by the fidelity to its full-scale counterpart.

One of the most endearing and enduring symbols of California’s pre-historic past, and the most well-known of the machairodont (dagger-toothed) carnivores, Smilodon fatalis, roamed North America during the Pleistocene, about 2.5mya to 10,000 years ago. With canines measuring up to 11 inches in length from root to crown, this ferocious animal fed on bison, horse, camel and small pronghorn.

Compact and affordable, this beautifully proportioned and finished scaled down saber-toothed cat skull with custom base is perfect for the space and budget-minded, the amateur anatomist or paleontologist, or simply for the enthusiastic collector. A great gift for your favorite educator or for yourself!

Bone Clones® skeletal casts are useful as demonstrative exhibits in a trial to visually illustrate aspects of a case related to the human body including injury or trauma representation, cause of death, forensic reconstruction, and clarifying medical testimony.

In these cases, Bone Clones® skeletal casts would serve to help the jury visualize complex medical or forensic concepts, making them easier to understand in the context of the case.

Human Male Cranium with Hammer Blows
BC-217

This blunt force trauma cranium illustrates a wound that is rounded and depressed, consistent with hammer injury. The smooth, rounded edges are indicative of healing, and therefore indicate survival of this injury.

Human Male Skull with Machete Wounds
BC-185

This modern human skull displays trauma resulting from machete wounds. The machete strikes caused all of the skull fractures, with loss of the comminuted fragments from the left side of the face and the left and right sides of the calvarium.

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make” – Jane Goodall

We at Bone Clones were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall this week.

Jane Goodall, Ph.D., DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, UN Messenger of peace, humanitarian and perhaps the most influential scientist to ever study animal behavior, began her research into the wild chimpanzees of the Gombe in July, 1960. With passion and dedication, little formal training, and an open mind, she ventured into the wilderness of what is now Tanzania. Carrying only binoculars and a notebook, she embarked on what has become the longest running and most significant scientific study of wild chimpanzees. Her unconventional methods, patience and quiet observation led to revolutionary discoveries that changed the very definition of “mankind.” Human beings could no longer be viewed as the sole toolmaker nor the only possessors of individual personality. Her published discoveries and observations broadened our view of the relationship between people, animals and their environments.

Bone Clones had the privilege of working with Dr. Goodall and our mutual friend, artist Gino Acevedo, on the “Hand-in-Hand” life cast project, to honor her life work and to help fund the Jane Goodall Institute. Visit for more information.

Human Sacrum with Spina Bifida
KO-262

Spina bifida is one of the most common congenital defects affecting the central nervous system, affecting 1 in 2,875 births in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It arises from a failure in the proper formation of the neural tube — the embryonic structure that eventually develops into the brain and spinal cord — during the first few weeks of pregnancy. When the neural tube doesn’t close completely, the neural arch of the vertebrae may fail to form properly around the spinal cord and can result in the spinal cord protruding through the opening, leading to permanent nerve damage. Individuals born with spina bifida may experience a range of complications, including motor impairments, weakness or paralysis in the legs and feet, and bowel or bladder dysfunction.

Spina bifida is a complex condition and while its exact underpinnings are not fully understood, it has been linked to chromosomal abnormalities, genetic disorders, folate deficiency, and various environmental or maternal factors.

Human Right Femur Fracture with Malunion
KO-261

This femur displays an oblique, comminuted fracture (multiple fragments) and bone displacement, resulting in the misalignment of the femoral shaft and overall shortening of the femur.

Comminuted fractures are usually caused by high-impact trauma, such as car accidents or falls from significant heights. These are particularly serious injuries with risks including severe blood loss, damage to surrounding muscles and nerves, and bone fragments that can cause damage to surrounding tissues and arteries. In this case, there is evidence of bone remodeling as the two pieces are connected through a bony bridge. A break this severe would have taken years to heal, so this person was cared for in some way.

Southern Tamandua Skull
BC-367

The southern tamandua, the arboreal relative of the anteater, is a medium-sized xenarthran mammal (ancient Greek for unusual joint—in reference to extra vertebral joints unique from other mammals) native to South America. Adults typically measure between 21 – 31 in in body length, with an additional 15 – 23 in long prehensile tail, and weigh about 10lbs. The body is covered with coarse, brown to yellowish hair, with a vest-like black marking over the shoulders and torso. The skull is elongated and narrow, with a reduced mandible. Tamanduas are edentulous, lacking teeth entirely. Instead, they possess a long, cylindrical tongue—up to 40 cm in length—that is coated in sticky saliva to trap insects.

🚨New Product Alert🚨

KO-260 Human Polio Femur

Poliomyelitis (polio) is a viral disease that targets the nervous system and damages motor neurons, which are responsible for muscle control. This damage leads to muscle weakness, paralysis, and musculoskeletal deformities that can affect the lower limbs. In children affected by polio, the disease can disrupt normal bone growth. Muscle inactivity and decreased weight-bearing lead to shortened limbs and underdeveloped bones, where the diaphysis of the bone may be thinner, less dense and smaller in diameter. This example of a femur affected by polio will serve as an excellent example in discussions of the complications of this preventable disease.

LC-271 Tuatara Life Cast

Tuataras are rare reptiles found only in New Zealand and are the last surviving members of the ancient order Rhynchocephalia, which dates back over 200 million years. Although they resemble lizards, they are not true lizards and have unique features such as a parietal “third eye” and a slow metabolism. Tuataras can live for over 60 years in the wild and reproduce infrequently, with females laying eggs only every 2–5 years. They thrive in cooler temperatures and are mostly active at night, feeding on insects, small animals, and bird eggs. Tuataras are protected and mainly found on predator-free offshore islands due to past threats from introduced mammals.

Sea Birds!

The Glaucous Gull (BC-244), White Pelican (BC-065), and Black-footed Albatross (BC-332) are three distinct seabird species found across North America and the Pacific. The Glaucous Gull is one of the largest gulls, recognized by its pale plumage and powerful build, breeding in Arctic regions and wintering along northern coasts. The American White Pelican is a striking, large bird known for its broad wingspan and cooperative fishing behaviors in inland lakes and marshes. The Black-footed Albatross is a long-distance oceanic flyer native to the North Pacific, often threatened by longline fishing and ocean plastic pollution. All three species occasionally come under the care of organizations like International Bird Rescue, which specializes in rehabilitating injured aquatic birds and advancing seabird conservation. For more detailed information about these species and rescue efforts, visit International Bird Rescue.
