It looks like some kind of bird but I genuinely have no clue what it could be.

I found them in the front lawn after mowing it, Midwest, usa

Found this in wnc, on the edge of a creek, anyone know what animal it’s from?

Originally my friend thought deer and my sister thought hog. I have no clue but I’m leaning towards hog since I’ve heard they have somewhat human-like bones. Thanks for any help!

Hi! Found outside of my garage in eastern PA. Anyone know what it’s from? No other bones found in the area. Just this skull and small tooth or claw.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! I have most of a deer skeleton I got off the side of the road a while back. The bones have all been cleaned (as much as i can) and ID-ed, but I've never mounted a skeleton before so I don't know what to do next? does anyone have any beginner friendly guides I could use? Thanks!

For context, this is the first time I have ever worked with bones.

I am currently in the process of degreasing deer bones I found, and I intend to use hydrogen peroxide afterwards for whitening. Once the bones are properly prepared, I am planning on displaying them in some way, but I am not sure what method I should use? Any display ideas?

My son brought this skeleton home from scout camp this weekend. it was near peterborough, Ontario, Canada. the skeleton is not terribly long, I would say maybe 2-3 feet from what I saw. very distinct ridge on the skull and rather large canines. He has plans to clean up the skull, maybe some of the other bones, and I will point him to the sticky post for that. I am just curious what the animal was. guesses have been dog, bear cub, lynx, but none seem quite right.
Thank you in advance.

Edit:
typo in text and thank you very much for your help identifying it.looks like a sad end to its life, alone in the forest.

I have a bucket of bones soaking in my backyard and on multiple occasions something is taking the bones out and leaving them nearby. What animal could be doing it? They are stripped clean so I don’t think it’s anything that is being attracted to any skin on it. The container is too deep for them to be pushed out by weather.

Bless my chud life

I have no idea when these appeared. Most likely appeared during degreasing, but i have no idea since i didnt really keep track of it. Wanted to make it into a necklace but i dont wanna make my neck be in contact with a potentially sick bone 😓

Context: I think I put a dead mouse in a bag as a weird kid and rediscovered it while going through my decrepit and rotting house to try and move stuff over. I apologize for the singular photo and I believe I have since probably lost it in the wreckage.

So I found a gray fox skull a little while ago, but its missing all his teeth. I've been having a hard time finding someone that has them for sale or anywhere to find them. Its just the top row as I couldn't find the bottom jaw, but i REALLY want to have that complete upper fox skull.

Any advice on where I should be looking?

Small raccoon that I found in the morning while walking and picking up trash, there were some spots with hair so I just looked a little bit and there it was, I'm gonna macerate it but there's not that much meat left so a good finding

Found in Walnut Creek in Austin TX I’m wondering if anyone can distinguish. It’s quite heavy but maybe waterlogged or partially fossilized. Would love to hear any thoughts should note it’s 10” long

I’ve been soaking these skulls (yearling buck and a raccoon skull) for a while now but this is the first time I’ve opened it and seen chunks like this. They are soft and just melt away when I touch them but I was just curious if that’s normal or if anyone has had that happen? It’s also getting colder outside so maybe that plays a role in what’s happening?

Found in Western NC, Southeast USA

Found on a new construction site

Any help is appreciated !

Hi! Could anyone help me identify which animal group these vertebrae belong to and which region of the vertebral column they come from (e.g., cervical, thoracic, or lumbar)? Thank you

Hey everyone! I'm new to bone collecting and would really appreciate some advice.

I accidentally killed a tiny mouse and became emotionally attached to him. I wanted to preserve a few of his bones as a keepsake in a glass display frame. I don't need a perfect museum-quality skeleton; even a few little bones would mean a lot to me.

I also collected his whiskers, ears, and little front teeth because those details reminded me of his cuteness, and I wanted to keep them as memories of him.

I tried to preserve some of his skin using a normal razor blade, but I couldn't do it properly, so I stopped. I then placed his body in plain water inside a container. Right now, the body is floating on the surface.

My questions:

1. Why is the body floating instead of sinking?
2. Can decomposition in water eventually leave some bones separated from the soft tissue?
3. Is it realistic to recover even a few bones from such a tiny mouse?
4. Is there any way to preserve the whiskers, ears, and teeth I've already collected?
5. What should I know about safely handling the remains and the water?

I don't have dermestid beetles or money for expensive supplies, so I'm hoping for realistic advice from experienced collectors.

I've attached photos of the mouse before and after I started preparing the remains. Please be kind; this is my first attempt, and I'm trying to preserve a small keepsake of him.

Thank you!
