^ There's no evidence of scavengers native to the Lost River especially since the biome's brine is highly acidic. The only animals that live in the Bones Field are Bleeders, Ghostrays, Mesmers, River Prowlers, and Crabsquids. The only scavengers in the Lost River are the Bleeder and the Blood Crawler, but they're not native to the Lost River.

We've seen with the new Precursor cache that many giant animals died in the Lost River at likely the same time, but they all appear to be carnivores due to the arrangement of their teeth. With that in mind, I will admit that it IS possible that prehistoric carnivores picked the giant skeleton clean of any flesh matter, but the Lost River would have no way to break down the bones. If there was a Lost River version of the Spadefish, then your statement would be reasonable since the Spadefish is a Detritivore, an animal that feeds on dead organic material. Having dozens of these "Riverspades" around the Bones Field would reinforce your statement. However, until the developers decide to make these "Riverspades" or otherwise explain how it died, I stand by my claim that the skeleton decayed naturally devoid of all interaction from the outside world.
