Carnivores will break through fresh bones to get to the fatty marrow, and herbivores like squirrels and deer will chew on the old bone pieces to get calcium for lactation and antler growth. As fungi and bacteria break down the rest of the bone pieces, the nutrients are returned to the soil to feed the plants, which continues the food chain when the herbivores eat them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eA single side of a rodent jaw has been cleaned, drilled, and attached to a jump ring to create the pendant.
