Slide 3
In preparing the
wet bones, all muscle and cartilage are removed. The bones are then
submerged in a saline solution made of distilled water and four
salts and are kept wet until testing. The dry bones are prepared
in a different manner. After cleaning, the bones are boiled for
an hour, cleaned again, and then boiled for another hour in water
and a small amount of bleach. The bones were tested two weeks later.
Only the left tibiotarsus was tested.
