I see a loss of connective tissue from over cleaning on the top nasal bones, and would not wait for them to fall out or warp before fixing it.

Take some masking tape, apply it to the exterior surface of the nasal bones then fill in the bone suture with epoxy or white wood glue from the interior of the nasal cavity.

The Skull looks great, you were too good at cleaning it.


Macerating skulls is just gross.
And greatly increases the likelihood you could get an infection from the rotting soup.
Nope. Never again.
