Abstract
Osteal specimens are cleaning with aid of dermestid beetles, so there is no chance of damaging the specimens from maceration or over-boiling. Dermestid method is easy to make articulated skeletons in small to medium size animals. I introduced a brief method of my osteal specimen making. And I made a catalogue of my mammal bone collections for other scientists.
