I just found out about this community and as someone who loves collecting animal bones and whose hobby was to ID human bones on Reddit (I’m an anthropologist), I want to do my part to keep this community active.

Last year I decided to care for and clean the bones of a little mouse that passed away in my yard. It was actually my first time cleaning non human bones and a bit challenging because of how small they were. I took some pictures of them in the beginning of the cleaning process, there were still some soft tissues attached to them that kept some of the bones articulated.

I don’t know why but I never tried to determine this mouse sex but I’m no expert in non human bones, if someone here has the knowledge please let me know what you think.

The jaw:

Still articulated vertebrates:

Partially articulated foot and leg:
