Too cool Tracy.  What a find.

Tracy, that is really a nice find. Great job too.

I know maggots do a nice job of cleaning skulls. Put some in a box with the skull, or leave them for the blow flies to find and lay their eggs. They will do the dirty work, after you wash of the pond muck of course. Good idea to leave the box outside, away from any building. Here is an interesting article.
