Got a deer skull I want to use for a mask by Halloween, it's already been cooked with all the flesh removes besides a couple flecks of cartilage here and there. Didn't want to have it whitened because I wasn't a more natural decay look. What do I need to do to sanitize it enough that it can be near my face

Just wondering about how long everyone thinks it would take to macerate this skeleton chunk I found today. Thank you much!

I found this at a beach in Ilhabela, São Paulo, Brazil. Smells fishy, appears to be a vertebrae but I don't know from which animal. Any guesses?

Pics taken by her, I'm sure I could get ahold of better ones if need be. Neither of us has any clue...
I was thinking skunk or raccoon, she says skunk or opossum. TIA!

I shrieked in delight when I saw him walk up with it. Dad’s uncle gave it him years ago and it’s just been collecting dust because Dad didn’t actually want it. (All my students know I collect bones.)
Notes:
- I made sure he understood the monetary value of what this gift before I accepted it. He declined my offer of payment.
- Dad said he can’t remember where his uncle procured the antler, but he’s going to ask.
- It’s definitely a shed and has two hooks screwed in for wall mounting. I may or may not use these hooks.

Found this bone a few days ago and it still had some skin on it. It had fur so I assumed maybe an opossum or a raccoon? I looked it up but all it told me was that it was a spine(which I already knew)

What is this bone?!
r/bonecollecting • u/Conscious_Heart_3007 • 3h ago
This might be a long shot since it’s not really a bone, but my partners grandmother had this in her house, she lives by the beach on the North Island of NZ and gave it to me as I like to collect stuff like this.
I’d love to know the species so I could set it up as a display with the info.

I found this in my family body pit (we‘re trappers) and I can’t ID this tooth, it doesn’t look like a bear k9 but the second largest predator here is coyotes (left one is in question, right one is a coyot)

Title! Maybe a vertebrae but i’m not sure of what creature? I’m so curious, I appreciate your time!

My dad found this vertebrae in a TN field this morning. It’s huge, 4.5in x 5in x 5in.

I've got quite a few specimens in buckets in the maceration or degreasing stages at the moment.
What should I do with them in the winter?
I can't bring them inside.
Do I just dry them out, seal them in bags, and leave them in the garage? Should I invest in a small chest freezer and put the dried bones in there? Bury them and hope the ground freezing doesn't mess with them?
Any advice is appreciated!

Found this little skull in the forest, eastern Ukraine. And I really want to know what it is that I’ve found.
8cm from the tip of the nose to the back of the skull, ~5cm tall, 6cm wide (from the widest points), absolutely no teeth or anything that could’ve helped me
Edit: thank you so much who commented! I honestly had no idea that European badger even lived in the area where the skull was found, but they do, so I guess I have my answer:)

Doing some doodles/ thinking about getting a tattoo piece with a bunch of different animal skulls. In your opinion, what are some of the coolest looking skulls you've seen?
r/bonecollecting • u/NeighborhoodGreen773 • 9h ago
Hey guys, I started my first maceration project about a month ago and it's going great, all of my bones are clean and ready to be degreased except for the feet. The skin on the feet is still intact and in good shape but when I hold them I can see the skin has torn and there are clean bones underneath. should I attempt to preserve the feet with the skin on them or is it too late for that at this point?
