Method: Burial in tupperware tub

My Aunt's friend has a pond, which is dry for half the year. Apparently when it is dry there are usually frog skeletons left in the mud. This interested me, so I was given a contained of sludge from the bottom of the pond to process. I added some soil to the slime and left the tub at the bottom of the garden for a few months.
The first thing I noticed upon recovery was this curious little bone, which I am told is the frog pelvis, or pelvic girdle.

I noticed that a lot of the bones are very interestingly shaped, quite different from bones I have worked with before.
After sorting the bones it took me a while to identify these bones:

They are skulls! Quite different from what I was expecting!
