these things are made of cartilage and rot away with everything else until just the bone is left

Because your nose and ears are made out of cartilage which is just hard flesh. When the body decomposes your nose and ears decompose along with all the other skin and flesh on your body.

The ears and nose are made out of cartilidge and flesh. Skulls are made from bone.

Ummm because skulls are made of bone...ears and noses are cartilage which decays and falls off. Have you noticed they don't have eyes either?

Because ears and noses are made of cartilage and skin, not bone. These tissues degrade and decay after death, leaving only bone.

Ears and noses are made of cartilage and isn't really a solid bone.

I don't think the hard stuff in your ears and nose is bone - I think it's cartilege. I would guess that cartilege decays and only the parts of you that are actually bone truly last. Just a guess!

because the ends of noses and all of ears are cartiledge and fat so they deteriorate much faster than bone. so all that is left is the bone and spaces where nose and ear were

Ears are made of cartilage and decompose faster than bone. Eyes are also soft tissue and decomposes. Also animals eat the soft tissues when they can.
