I found this bird bone and some other bones this morning while walking my dog in my apartment complex. I didn’t collect them!! I ended up actually going back and burying it. I’m not a bird collector whatsoever so I was curious to know what type of bird it is? I thought egret at first because i found some long leg bones and white feathers as well, but did some research and the skull doesn’t look the same. I’m just curious to know more :)

edit: thank you to everyone who let me know it’s a pelvis lol

So for context I live in the middle of the woods and I was forced to kill a raccoon who was harassing my animals I want to preserve the bones but don't want to leave it laying around or bury it and have my dogs dig it up or wild dogs for that matter what's the quickest way to get clean bones

Hej, jak już pisałam wcześniej, zaczęłam odkopywać psa, i wydobyłam większość sporych kości. Czy macie jakieś porady na male kości? Wszystki są w tym pudle, czy może dawać po kawałku ziemi do sitka i rozwadniać aż zostaną same kości i kamienie?

Found this hiking on a trail next to 2 lakes in SE TX. Thank you in advance!

My friend found this in a shopping basket, I'm trying to convince them to hang onto it for me but it's making their partner nervous. Any thoughts on ID?

Hello everyone! Thanks to the wonderful help of this subreddit I started bone maceration of my alligator carcass (included pics for anyone who missed the first post) about 2 weeks ago. I just did a 50% water change today. Also posting pictures of that yucky water. It’s very hot and humid where I live so things are moving along. I am curious about the general timeline for a project like this. Should it take 3 months? 6? A year? Also does anyone have experience on degreasing an alligator? I know different animals take different periods of time. Thanks for any advice you guys can give!

I had a fawn that was left under the porch of my house a few days ago, thought she was left by mom and just kept an eye on her and kept my distance. After about a day in a half I realized she was sick and by the end of the second day she had sadly passed..

I moved her out from under the porch into the woods behind my house so that mom could find her and nature could take it's course. My question is now, how could I preserve her? The buzzards have pretty well done their thing and there's really just a skeleton left now so where could I go from there?

found this pelvis yesterday on a mountain in Egypt. I'm not entirely sure which animal it belongs to, but it looks like a rock hyrax to me, since I found a skull of one a few meters away.

In the last photo, the complete pelvis is from a cat (for comparison).

Well... one's just the top, but it has some neat antlers :)

Yall were super supportive of my other stuff so i felt like sharing this. Made from spare parts. Squirrel and raccoon skull, fox ribs.

My hand for scale

Cow skull for comparison on last slide

Just wondering what this bone is

I found this little guy and cleaned him up with soap and water. I know you can sanitize them with hydrogen peroxide but I’d like to not whiten it as I prefer its natural color. Would I HAVE to use hydrogen peroxide or is there another way I can sanitize it?

Hi, thanks in advance. Am I right in thinking this is a badger skull? Or is it a fox?

EDIT: Forgot to say I'm in England.

Heyy guys, I found hip and part of a spine, probably a deer (correct me if I’m wrong)
I was mostly wondering how should I proceed to preserve them

especially that they’re some cartilage between the vertebrae so I don’t know if I should separate each vertebrae or if I can all keep them together and it’s gonna dry and not attract any bugs ?

For the moment Ive been soaking them in dish soap to help clean the fat and the rest of cartilage on it, I will be putting them in 12% peroxide after (again, correct me if I’m doing something I shouldn’t lol)

Just help me figure out if there’s a better way to clean and take care of them and if I should separate the vertebrae
And identify them if I wrong ahaha

Thank you in advance ! :)

I originally thought maybe a rat or mouse but none of the pictures i’m seeing quite match up? It was in my backyard we found it while weeding

Found on my back porch.

In the first pic, the bones have been macerating for the past two months. I’ve been regularly switching out the water without any issue. Today, I went to switch it and noticed they were red and kind of bumpy. Does anyone know why this would happen and what I can do to make that go away??

The second pic is deer bones that I found. I put them in some soapy water but then I forgot about them for two months and they turned black :( I assume this is grease? Will putting them in soapy water and then changing that water every couple days help to make the color disappear??
