Hi everybody,

In archaeological research, we use fauna bones or even whole skelletons
that have been previously prepared for being used in workshops or for
education in field as a reference to compare them with actual
archaeological fauna items, so students can learn about identification, for
instance. Unsurprisingly, we call them "reference collections".

I hope it helps!

Best wishes,
Laura
