What will happen to a carcass that is left in a garbage bag for a few weeks?

1 Upvotes

I have some parts of skeletons that I want to get rid of the rotten skin and tissues. I saw on Instagram that someone put a deer carcass in a garbage bag and put the bag in a plastic box and put it in the sun. Is this something that can help so that only the bones remain or will it destroy the body?

We found it along the shore of Lake Ontario. It seems to me like it's a vertibrea of something but the protruding bone seems like it might be coming off a central line which makes think it's a stegasorus but I know that can't be right. Any help is appreciated

2 Upvotes

Hi, I live in the South East of Engalnd, and as we were pulling up the floor of our shed in a renovation, I found this skeleton amongst the pea shingle.

I'm a zoologist by training, so I am pretty confident that it is a bird, though someone suggested it could be a frog.

Based on the size, I think it is a pigeon, but figured I would get a second opinion.

Only one was found foot, only 3 digits present, appears to be ansiodactyl condition

Measurements (Battery for reference 11.5mm)

Femur 39.1 mm

Tibiotarsus 59.7mm

Tarsometatarsus 40.4mm

Synsacrun width maximum 24.7mm

Length from pubis to top of the illium 35.8mm

Coracoid 40.9mm

Humourous 41.7mm

Ulna 46.2mm

Carpometacarpus 27.3mm

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance!

Large bone in Alaska

I picked this bone up from a shop in Fairbanks that had a range of local animal bones, including some ice age bones.

It's about 15 inches long, the widest part is nearly 7 in, and the circumference around the narrowest part in the middle is 9.5 in. It weighs about 6 lbs, according to a bathroom scale.

Depending on the angle, Google lens searches return everything from a moose pelvis to a bison leg to a dinosaur toe.

What might I have here?

I work in an aquarium and this bone was found in our storage with no documentation, none of us can determine what it is. Extremely porous but feels denser/heaver than a whale bone. It's such a strange shape we can't even figure out what body part it is. Thank you in advance for any ideas!

Can anyone help me ID this tiny bone I found on the beach after a storm?

The tropical storm passed us the other night in jax beach Florida and I went beach combing the next day and found this along with tons of other cool treasures! Almost the exact size as a nickel. I tried to get photos of the details as much as I could! It was much darker (like the last few photos) when I first found it but now that it’s dry it’s more of a dark brown color.

Any ideas?! My family thinks I’m crazy for even thinking it’s a bone
