The pictures didn't turn out and some of you might already know but for those who don't, don't put your bear skulls to close to the wood stove, or close to any heat source. I had four skulls on a mantle above my wood stove and just happened to take a close look at them today and all of them were cracked up pretty good, all of the skull's canines were split all the way down the middle length wise, a good size chunck of one canine fell off one skull. Heat does a number to the skulls, all the skulls were eaten by beatles, never would have thought this would happen from heat, lesson learned.
