What happened to the dragon skeletons?

I realize that this might seem like a slightly stupid question, but I was wondering about what happened to the bodies of the Targaryen dragons. We know that they skulls used to be in the throne room, but where did the rest go? I can't imagine them just being thrown away, they were too integral to their rule for that I think, but where would they have ended up?

Well, the latter dragons were all ugly fugly and misshapen. I think that they would've been done away with as much as the Targaryens could. I mean, how scary is a humpbacked dragon with a clubfoot? Exactly, not very. On top of that, they would be too ashamed of these dragons to show them, even their bones. I suspect they were either put away very very deep in Maegor's Keep or destroyed by the Targaryens.

Dragonbone is used as a material for some things, for instance the infamous knife Catelyn found, which had a dragonbone hilt. I think the craftsmen of King's Landing could have paid a decent sum of money for the skeletons, to use to make fancy stuff. Alternately, it was sold to somebody across the sea, ultimately for the same purpose.
