if a bone is placed in weak HCl ,the mineral part is removed from it(gets dissolved)
and the remaining organic framework is left behind.such a bone is called decalcified (calcium removed) bone and it is soft and flexible which can even be tied into a knot.
if a bone is strongly heated it's organic matter is destroyed (oxidised) and only the mineral part (ash) remains
