    hey there, I have a Richardson ground squirrel skull in my maceration tank and its almost done. I was just wondering if anyone has a picture or knows where I could find one, of where the teeth go.

    The teeth may fall out but they will only fit in the socket that they came out of. Try test fitting them gently.

    When I clean out a maceration bucket, I do stir it around a bit, wait a few seconds for heavier parts to sink to the bottom and pour off half. I refill with water and repeat a few times. That seems to prevent tooth and small part loss as they all sink to the bottom. I have even recovered internal ear bones doing it this way and they are tiny.
