[Nhcoll-l] Tail Shark

[Sergio Montagud]

We had received a dry tail of a thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus). People who give it dried the tail outdoors, only protected by sunlight and hanging from the tip of the tail. The preservation is quite good, but the base still contains some tissues and muscles that look dry, but smell a lot.  Could someone give us recommendations for preservation? For the moment, we have no intention to expose it.

Thanks in advance


Sergio
