<div dir="ltr">Hello all;<div><br></div><div>We have a <span class="" style>leatherback</span> turtle that was half prepared. The bones and skin were removed but the shell sat in the freezer for about 4 years, where it curled dreadfully. We uncurled it by soaking in 4% Formalin for a weekend, and then dried it out flat for about a month. It looks okay; it is nice and flat, but it is really greasy. There is still a fair amount of meat under the shell, (15-20mm in some spots) but I really don't know how much is safe to remove without damaging the integrity of the shell. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!<br>
