Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Two methods of preparing skeletons are described. After skinning, gutting and defleshing, large animals are buried for two months to two years in nylon mesh bags in leaf mould. Smaller animals are simmered in water for approximately fifteen minutes and then allowed to macerate in warm water with a proteolytic enzyme for one to several days (fish should not be simmered). The resulting disarticulated bones are then thoroughly washed, dried and degreased with acetone or a mixture of methanol and trichloroethane. Au |
