Answer:
When a bone is dropped in HCl medium, the calcium of bone slowly starts dissolve due to the action of strong acid. HCl + Ca -> CaCl2 + H2. Afterwards the bone is depleted of calcium but it does not "melt" because there are other minerals that make up the bone such as potassium, vitamins and collagen.
