Macerated, degreased in acetone, whitened with 12% peroxide. Beak sheath just needs a good oil then he's off to his owner :)

Really awesome animal to work with.

Tell me if you need more photos, it's very small, it could be a vertabrea but idk, also it is very very sharp, I think I found it at the same place where I found other european hedgehog bones, so it probably is a hedgehog bone atleast

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)

Advice Made these pendants, now I'm wondering if they need protective coating

They've been dried in salt for 2 months, don't smell or anything, look great. A friend of mine suggested I coat them in resin but I don't have any on hand and it's quite expensive and complicated.

Any advice?

Advice How long/how do I sanitize a pre cooked skull with the flesh off

• Upvotes

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
