Apparently beetles are the go, beetles of the Dermestidae kind:
Dermestid beetles being used to clean a human skull at Skulls UnlimitedInternational, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
So has anyone got any? I might have to start a new thread

A few cheap cuts of meat with bone still in them and a slow cooker does the trick, bones come out pretty clean and just leave them outside for a bit for them to dry up. For the amount you want though, you might be eating stew for quite a while

That would get rid of the flesh, but I think the cooking takes the organics out of the bones themselves.
Found a discussion On The Carving Path about preparing bone. Haven't read far. That's your job.

I've found a butcher willing to sell me half a cows rib cage for $3 and has plenty. I'll hang some out the back of the shed, bury the others wrapped in chicken wire, wire up others to hang from tree limbs and let the bugs do their thing. I'm hoping for a mid-summer result unless something else comes along or I go out for a collect if I can get the time.

Boil em, takes the crud off, plus hardens and minimises organic reactions. I use an old 44 to boil my croc jaws, set up over one of those huge gas wok cookers. Just keep it down wind of your house, and up wind of the neighbour you don't like

It's how I get them to the burial site in chicken wire with spade in hand that's the problem
Yep I'm eying the bbq in a way I haven't beforeGotany croc ribs?
I'm looking at a stand of trees a fair walk away, a place where I know scores of crows hang out from time to time
Gotta tell Grumpy about that, it'd make a great pic crows in the banksia
