We evaluated the degeneration of cortical bone tissue by hydrochloric acid since intentional bone decalcification in a forensic context has not been studied on a histomorphological level. We used ýé pig metatarsal bones split into subsamples and immersed in one of three concentrations of acidic solutions (0.5 M, 1 M, 2 M HCl) for two and four hours. We analzyed the cortical thicknesses on transversal cross-sections, thicknesses of the three histomorphologically distinct zones present in acid-immersed bonesm and number and area of crystals present in one of the zones. Futhermore, we analyzed the ratio of calcium to phosphorous (Ca:P). We observed a division of the cortical bone cross section into three distinctive zones: demineralized matrix (DM) in the periosteal part of bone, middle contact zone (CZ), and mineralized matrix (MM) in the endosteal part of the bone. With increasing acid concentration and time of immersion
