[Nhcoll-l] Preparation of small herp skulls

[Amos Belmaker]

Hi all,


We are having problems with preparing skulls of small herps. They keep falling apart. We currently put them in water.


Ideally we would like a method that would allow us to setup and then "forget" about it until we can process the skull. While we could monitor the preparations more frequently to catch them before they collapse it does constrain our schedule.


Any thoughts?


Thanks!

Amos
