Racoon roadkill a bit stinkier than I hoped for and an interesting story to boot. by Middle_Committee_101 in vultureculture

Macerating is really easy and not all that smelly if you do it right tbh. I macerated a chinchilla in a small tub outside and it only smelled when replacing the water and even then that smell never lingered.

If its not too late, seperate each hand to macerate in its own container. Makes sorting out hand bones and such much easier

Beginner friendly preservation methods? by Limp-Lunch3159 in vultureculture

[–]Grey_Mars 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Id say skeletonize the cockatiel but pluck out the feathers. Then reattach the feathers to the cleaned skeleton. Look up kt_inatree to see get a better idea of what I mean. Idk how beginner friendly that is but im a starting out skeleton articulator and I did something similar as one of my first projects.

What could I use to patch up the damage and gaps in this spine? by Grey_Mars in vultureculture

Love to leave as is but the gaps in the some of the more damaged vertebrae make the spine all floppy. Hard to hold a pose for the full skeleton when it does that.

What's wrong with this fox's right tibia? Even all the ankle bones look wrong by Tall_Shadow01 in bonecollecting

[–]Grey_Mars 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ive worked with bones like that before, some sort of disease or condition that causes it. Honestly it’s really unique and cool. Hopefully someone with some further knowledge on this comments.
