The penis bones (bacula, os penis, oosik) of most mammals are distinctive. They come in all sorts of odd shapes. I've been collecting these oddities for a lifetime. The species that the bacula are from is easily discernable. Additionally, age of the animal is often calculable based on the baculum.

Here are some common ones. American badger, raccoon, and river otter.

Here are shown fisher. They have a distinctive head (distal end).

Wolverines have a reputation for being mean. I'll argue that point, but they must be tough, as I trapped an older adult that had broke his penis in half sometime earlier in his life, and it had healed itself at quite an angle. OUCH!

Often, females will sport a "pseudo-baculum" (os clitoris, baubellum). This is a baubellum from a black bear.

My coffee table at home displays a few hundred bacula. Quite a conversation-piece when we have guests.

My wife, Miss Lisa, tongue-in-cheek said "It's probably the only pecker table in the greater Tendoy metropolitan area". Seeing's how the town of Tendoy now has 0 (zero) people in it, I suspect she's probably right.

Very impressive table.

Every time my wife sees me cleaning up bacula, she shakes her head and says "you've got issues."

I've seen some that have sustained damage also and healed oddly, not as bad as the one you posted. But yes, OUCH!

Some might think it’s weird to collect peckers, I once gave mink peckers to all my coworkers, glued to an index card with genuine mink pecker wrote on it. One gal didn’t know what to think.

Can’t wait to show my Bride the picture of the table! She thinks that I have issues for keeping a coon bone in my pocket.

Do you have any spotted skunk in your collection? I had one from a least weasel at one time. Got misplaced never to be seen again.
