Only in San Francisco would you find a boutique-like shop that not only displays, but sells raccoon penis bones, preserved animal eyes, and decorative dioramas made from rodent skeletons, dressed in costume and suitable for framing.
Part museum, part science class and part retail shop, Paxton Gate has an amazing selection of items from the natural world from rocks, shells and other geological wonders to various bits and pieces preserved from the animal kingdom. They also carry books and other related materials. Even (or especially) if you're not in mood to shop, Paxton's Gate is a must-see.
