How many skulls do have in your collection? I've tried to collect a sizable amount of bones and skulls myself.

Dallas; I only have one other deer skull from a young male deer, but it's still in the process of being cleaned. Other than that, I have part of a jaw from an opossum (although I have to check), a few moose bones (scapula, vertebrae), and a few fossils (mosasaur vertebra, croc scute). It's not much, but it's a start.
