bones have been washed with hand soap and water. not a whole lot of degreasing to do since they’re pretty old and a lot of it has been done by nature already but they could definitely use some. gotta find a container to put them in and i will start degreasing 👍

#still don’t know what animal they’re from #looking a little more closely at the inside of the bones i’m less confident that it’s a mammal? idk the difference between bird and mammal #bone lattice structures but yeah i’m a little less confident about it being a mammal now #they do seem kinda big for a chicken though. we do have wild turkeys around here but the bones seem a little small in that regard #and they almost NEVER come up and wander around neighborhoods like where i found the bones #i’ll have to check if the vulture culture subreddit is still up and running bc i feel like they’re my best bet for id at this point #gonna wait until the bones are dry tho i didn’t feel like drying them with a towel lmao #(normally you would just go straight to degreasing but these had obviously been there for a while and were covered in dirt so i just wanted #to wash most of the mud and shit off of them before i start degreasing) #rambles
