\label{fig:mass_of_bones}: A comparison of the physical properties of the Bone candidates, based on a similar table from \citet{Goodman_2014}. We assume the filaments are cylindrically shaped, and calculate the volume based on measured with radius and length. We \textit{estimate} an average H$_2$ column density of $2\rm{E}22 \rm{cm}^{-2}$, consistent with the average IRDC minimum  peak column density to be included  in the \citet{Peretto_2009} catalog of 11,303 IRDCs. We plan to perform extinction mapping on each candidate to physically measure this parameter in a follow-up study.
