#bone cleaning

Sometimes bones turn black during maceration. Goth bones! Sadly they do not stay that color when dry.

Check out the blood grooves on the lower canine of this Fisher! It's especially cool to see them next to the upper canine, which doesn't display the grooves in this particular specimen.

Blood grooves are there to reduce suction when the animal bites deep into prey. That way, they can let go and bite again if need be.

Lita's skeleton is mostly clean except for her leg bones which are still trapped in degreasing prison. I can't wait to get her all finished and ready for articulation!

Here’s a cool otter skull my beetles just finished up. Check out those teeth!

I'm finally done

The 3.74 meter reticulated python is finally finished, I am extremely proud, I feel like a peacock

There were probably more than a thousand pieces and I still have a 2.5 meter burmese degreasing and two other snakes in the freezer waiting to be cleaned and articulated
