One Of The Methods Of Making Animal Skeleton Specimens

The main steps to make animal skeleton specimens are:

1) Take out the internal organs, separate the large muscles of the limbs, gouge out the eyes and brain, and be careful in the process of removing, and try not to damage the bones when they are close to the bones. The attached fine muscles can be rotted away with sodium hydroxide or separated after being cooked in water;

2) Soak the rough skeleton in gasoline to remove the grease in the bone marrow cavity;

3) Hydrogen peroxide is usually used as bleaching agent;

4) Pierce metal wires on several main parts of the bones such as the spine and limbs to fix the bone shape;

5) Coat a layer of liquid paraffin on the bone specimen to protect it.
