Assembling a Skeleton (Guide)/Bone Sources

World Qualities:	Preferred Quality: Antiquity Preferred Type: Insects Occasional Buyer: An Enterprising Boot Salesman Diplomat's Fascination: Skeleton: Skulls
Reference Tables:	Buyers Bones Bone Sources Skeleton Types Recipes

The tables below contain the majority of significant, grindable(!) bone sources. Some were omitted, being too niche or inconsequential.

The aim of these tables is to give a comprehensive overview of the different repeatable ways of getting each bone, to compare how to most easily get the bones you need. Ideally, there should be a calculation on the total action cost of each option, but that is a lot of calculations.
