I boiled a skull to preserve and it fell apart. What is the secret to getting the juicy bits off and not having the skull disintegrate? This was a Nyala.

It's in the pot with the skull. Still waiting to see @Ursuline Chick 's baculum earrings.

Simmer, don't boil. Boiling can also crack hollow teeth such as bear canines. Take photos prior to cooking so you can figure out where to glue parts back together. Clear slicon glue works well.

Mine stay together well until I bleach them with peroxide. I use a 10% to 15% hydrogen peroxide solution. Never use actual bleach as it dissolves the calcium.

Carrion beetles do a very quick and excellent job. No boiling required.

I was fresh out and in a hurry. Vultures scatter things too much. Considered the fire ant mound, but it was ripe and I try so hard not to offend the neighbors too much.

Vultures actually found the previous skull that I attempted the fire ant method and hauled it around the yard. That one offended me and I wasn't doing another. Yes, this was after getting off as much as I could. Maybe @Sapphire Sebright has a better method?

No, I've never tried preparing/preserving bones. Maybe @CSAchook could help, though?

I believe that @Conan buries hers for later retrieval.
