Oh, I have even more pictures from my visit to Dead Things, the wondrous curio shop down in Yarnell. But this post is dedicated to various animal manifestations, primarily bones. After all, what Hollywood cliche says "the dangers of the American West" better than the shot of bleached bones.
However, if you're collecting at higher elevations, you are quite as likely to happen across an antler or, if lucky, a matched pair. Elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and, in the case above, pronghorn.
More antlers. Note that not all dead things at Dead Things are strictly for decor: birdhouses in the foreground.
And how about dead things which died long, long, long ago? Fossils also fit into the market niche.
However, the contents of this box return us to our desert west focus...
...as does this round-up of assorted skulls...
and this cliche of all Arizona cliches!
Ending on a reminder that there are less romantic animals in the West. BTW, here's a
previous visit to Dead Things.
