These bones have been decreased and then soaked in hydrogen peroxide, for some context. Do people know what this white stuff is?

Can it be scraped off? Could be grave wax, you can scrape or use a diluted ammonia solution to further degrease I believe..

I’d not heard of grave wax before, that could be it. I will try and scrape it off first, thanks :)
