<p><span lang="EN-US">Good morning,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">This is a query for those working in skeleton preservation. We have some recently acquired, disarticulated specimens prepared by different taxidermists. The issue is that some of them, especially the larger ones, still emit a very unpleasant
odor that we haven’t been able to remove, even by soaking them in water with ammonia. Is there an effective and proven method for eliminating this bad smell from the bones, which I assume is caused by residual fat still trapped in them?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Thank you very much.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
