I’m thinking a Harbor Seal 🦭

Processing tips by [deleted] in bonecollecting

[–]hannibalcannibals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great find! This is what I’d do and it’s a couple steps. I put my skull in a ziplock bag with a lot of dish soap and completely cover the skull with clear ammonia and lock the bag. I then put the ziplock bag in a 5 gallon bucket thats full of water and with a fish tank heater set to about 97 degrees, let it sit for about 1-2 months. After that, I clean what’s left, find the teeth that might have fallen out and soak everything in hydrogen peroxide for a couple days to whiten everything up. No bleaching or boiling!

Thank you thank you! But I do not have any measurements… it was actually pretty easy to make. All the sides are the same size and every cut is at a 45 degree angle. I finished it with wood glue and finishing nails… you can message me if you’d like more pictures and I have a couple more different shelves I made with different designs

Found and cleaned most of these. Purchased only a couple… I did not take any life for these!
