Bone marrow can decay; the outer, more solid portion of bones often don't, which is why bones are recovered from archaeological sites or become fossils that in some cases last for hundreds of millions of years, even though the organic component will be completely gone.
However in some cases bones can break down incredibly rapidly. Bone which is left out exposed to the elements and especially sunlight will disappear. Other conditions can also lead to the rapid break down of bone, such as the wet, acidic conditions found in peat bogs which lead to good preservation of soft tissue but break down the bones - hence the "crumpled" look that bog bodies have. Experimental studies have shown that in acidic soils some bone will disappear completely after as little as 9 years.
Ultimately all bone will break down and decay eventually although it is far more durable than other parts of the body in most conditions, and even bone which is fossilised will be broken down by weathering and natural processes eventually.
Human bones are made up of mineralized tissue that resists decomposition. This mineralization process occurs during bone formation and makes bones highly durable. Additionally, bones are often buried in environments that lack the necessary conditions for rapid decay, such as sufficient moisture and microbial activity.
The rate of bone decay depends on various factors such as environmental conditions, burial depth, and presence of bacteria or scavengers. Under normal conditions, it can take several years to several decades for human bones to fully decay.
Even though there are 15 bones and you have to remove 6, you can still have "ten" - make the bones spell the wordTEN.When you remove bones from each of the three sets of bones, it forms a letter. Two bones make the T, four bones make an E, and three bones make the N.
To read the bones at the Oracle's temple on Mythology Island in Poptropica, click on the bones to form a pattern based on the clues given by the Oracle. The bones will then reveal a message or a hint to help you progress in the island's quest.
The five stages of fossilization are: 1) death of an organism, 2) rapid burial by sediment or other material, 3) decay of soft tissues, 4) infiltration of minerals into the remains, and 5) hardening of the original material into rock.
yes all bones decay
the mummy bones didn't decay because they were carefully rapped and used w/ oils.the reason human bones decayed is becausethese weren't carefully wrapped. B-)
The answer is Calcium.
No. No squid has any bones, not even a giant squid. The only thing that will not decay is the beak.
Because the bones are not connected to your heart, and they are not alive they just do not decay as fast as your skin does.
I'd guess: bones.
Bones can decay like any other organic material. Sometimes, however, bones can be preserved in rock - those are called fossils.

Sometimes your bones may decay or give up. if you still Have them then you can hurt yourself so you have to change it
because there flesh goes into the ground and into the soil. There bones are left.
yes because if you have tooth decay it is isn't in the bone is out side it because if u eat sweets or sugary foods your teeth is of and it goes rotten
