skeleton's

Of the bones

Skeleton's is the possessive form of skeleton—the bony framework supporting a body, or any bare structural frame.

It typically modifies something belonging to or associated with a skeleton: the skeleton's ribcage, a skeleton's grin.

In the idiom skeleton in the closet, the possessive form appears as the skeleton's secret was finally revealed.
