What dremel attachment is best for cutting chicken/turkey bones?

What dremel attachment is best for cutting chicken/turkey bones?
I am a science teacher and my students will be examining various bones. I need to cut chicken/turkey/ham bones both in cross sections and longitudinal (length-wise) sections. This will allow students to examine the marrow cavity, spongy bone, and compact bone. Originally I thought a hack saw would work but then I thought a dremel would be better and faster. However, I am unsure what type of attachment would be best for this type of cutting. Any suggestions?

There is no best cutter. Some of the fine abrasive cutting wheels will do well on the poultry bones. A spray of water will prevent dust from flying and the marrow from cooking. Bone dust is a potent irritant. The ham bone requires a larger tool. You might be able to talk your local butcher into doing this on his band saw.
