What happens to a chicken bone in salt water?

As a matter of fact, my science fair project is based on this, chicken bones in different substances. I put one with Pepsi, One with coke, One with Salt water, One with Nail-Polish Remover and One with Peroxide. It was a quite a disgusting experience, but anyway. What happens to the chicken bone(s) in salt water is that they get often very clean, sometimes a bit stained. Most likely if flies get on top of a part of the bone that doesn't have any water, the fly will lay it's eggs and after 2-3 weeks, the bone will have maggots. I assure you that the water will turn slightly green-ish. I recommend, that if you don't want any maggots on your bones, you cover it well and protect the bone from flies or any egg-laying insects. Of course, you probably know, that the bone will not decompose because it has salt, and salt stops rotting flesh from decomposing. Yes, even if you clean the bone from flesh, the bone will still have remains of flesh that you will not be able to see with the normal, human eye; maybe with a magnifying glass.
