darchildreI recently ordered a natural curiosities surprise box from etsy because a) surprise presents for myself! and b) my childhood/life so far has in no way prepared me to be any kind of scientist but it did prepare me to be basically a Victorian gentleman who dabbles in natural history in a casual way. And it came today!
There are wee fish vertebrae (that I have now put into a tiny bottle for safekeeping)! A jewel beetle shell! An alligator osteoderm, which is a thing I had to look up because I had no idea what it was so I got to learn a new thing! And also, there was a vintage false tooth in its original packaging, which somehow did not make it into the photo.
10/10, would highly recommend if you are interested in receiving cool rocks and animal bits in the mail.
