The Dwarf Bones needed for the quest Cromil's Remains (https://wiki.project1999.com/Cromil%27s_Remains) don't appear to be dropping currently. At Lord Grimrot's graveyard in South Karana, there is a dwarf skeleton that shares a spawn with a putrid skeleton (smaller in size than the others in the graveyard).
The dwarf skeleton is actually the placeholder, and this smaller putrid skeleton is supposed to drop the Dwarf Bones to complete the quest.
This June 2000 snapshot (https://web.archive.org/web/20000511191509/http://everquest.allakhazam.com/quests/Q_Kaladim.htm) gives an overview of the quest:
Cromil's Remains: This quest is sometimes given to you after you return 4 bone chips to the paladin in the guild hall in Kaladim, if you have a high enough faction (amiable). He will ask you to find the remains of his brother Cromil. Supposedly he is now undead and is with an undead army located somewhere in the Plains of Karana. You can find these remains in the Southern Plains of Karana. Cromil is not actually a creature that is listed. It turns out that after you kill a Putrid Skeleton in the camp where Lord Grimrot hangs out, one of them might have a set of Dwarven Bones. These are in fact Cromil's remains. Upon returning them to the paladin in the Kaladim guildhall, he rewards you with some cash and a spell. Be warned that the location is in a very dangerous location, as many of the creatures there are well into the upper teens in level. Especially beware of the roaming cyclops and Lord Grimrot, who is in fact the subject of another quest. (Submitted by Klythin)

I have done this quest 3 times, and the dwarven bones are not off of the dwarven skeleton, but rather a small putrid skeleton. The dwarven skeleton that spawns there only gives regular chips, but every once in a while, there is a putrid skely that spawns that is smaller than the others, and that is Cromil.
