How long does it take for a bone to deteriorate?

Answer 1

Unlike apples, some foods take longer than others. Apple cores and banana peels and Oranges peels both take 2-5 weeks to decompose in the air, usually 2-3 in the ground. Other foods (based on how complicated they are could take a lot longer [especially with grease] and only natural foods decompose quickly). To decompose it, if you can, dig a spot in your yard espcially a place already dead (this will epecially help grow grass back), and bury what you want, suggesting organic from nature foods so they don't end up in landfills, and bury them. Dig the spot up about a month later and see that it's gone.

Answer 2

It depends on what type of bone. A human bone would take about 8 years in a area like Mexico, while it would take 80 years in a cold environment like Canada. It depends on the contents of the bone and the environment it is in.

Answer 3

They never really totally rot to nothing. There will still be bits left. That is one reason we can take a look at bodies that are thousands of years old and tell how they lived, what they ate, and how they died.

Answer 4

It takes about 20-25 years for the decomposers to decompose a tree.
