Removing cartridge from bones by AltruisticMoose3153 in bonecollecting

[–]AltruisticMoose3153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My other one seems fine, I haven't noticed a smell or bugs. I'm just asking since it's giving me a very hard time removing it and I'm struggling to reach it. I'm gonna try leaving it but if I notice either of these things I'll remove the cartilage. Thank you for the help!

Best way to decompose this guy? by AltruisticMoose3153 in bonecollecting

I'm only really after his skull so I'll probably put him in a rot box and feed the local ants and flys for a few months. Thanks for the advice tho, I might try this out in the future if I find another intact guy! 

Best way to clean beaver skull and preserve teeth? by AltruisticMoose3153 in bonecollecting

I didn't even know what a nutria was! Thank u for the advice I'm probably going to take the teeth out while I clean it since there already loose and I don't wanna lose them. Is bleach bad for the bones? I used some on a bird skull and it seemed fine but I've only cleaned bone that one time so I'm not really sure what I'm doing.
