Thanks J_P, it was a skull I found.
You've obviously done this sort of thing before

Oh, wow, it doesn't work for me either, sorry about that!
It's a link to a .pdf from the University of Arizona: http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/natresources/az1144.pdf

That's what I get for trying to get fancy and embed the link in text (if I'm using the proper terms.)

(I've removed the offending post as well.)

Good luck!

Found one locally at weekend.

Does anyone know how to whiten bones?

Did you ever process the skull? I'd love to see a pic if you've got one to share?

I left it on the shed roof.... mainly to see if the Magpies would be wary at all (they weren't)
I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it up.
