<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone, <div><br></div><div>We will have a number of medium bodied primate carcasses that we plan to macerate in order to preserve the skeletons. We've been told that fixing with formaldehyde prior to maceration can negatively affect the bones. </div><div><br></div><div>What are the consequences? Is this an issue for both short and long duration fixation, or just long? Thanks very much.</div><div><br>David<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>David C.
