Never heard of that. What's in the shells that do the cleaning or is it for the whitening. Do you have to break them up?Delaware Dave said:Kind of off beat, but I collect oyster shells for reef restoration. If you cover skull completely with them, I usually build wire box, by mid summer have a perfect, clean intact skull for bout 30 min work. If you can collect oyster shells from local restaurant..
Thanks for the info.Delaware Dave said:It allows and encourages natural insect and bacterial breakdown of soft tissue. (Also snails seem to love shell piles?) but prevents rodents and ground contact from damaging skull or antlers.
If you are patient , needs couple months of warm weather.
I have not been disappointed with results, but they will still need whitening.
Personally kind of grossed out by manual removal process, and I do all my own meat processing
