      agree that it would be a good idea to pick one of those nodules
      and investigate the structure under a binocular; it should be easy
      to recognise any crystalline structure if there is any. If you see
      small white crystals (and your photos look very familiar to us),
      these would surely be a strong hint for paraformaldehyde, as Simon
      indicated. Colesterol is a rather a waxy substance, and you should
      be able to note the difference immediately.</div>

      Many thanks for this information - it is just what I am lecturing
      about in Paris next week to raise awareness of this type of
      problem!
      <div class=""><br class="">
      </div>
      <div class="">I have often been asked to ID crystal growths and
        suspensions in fluid-preserved material and the answers (If
        there are any) are as varied as are the causes of their
        appearance. </div>
      <div class=""><br class="">
      </div>
      <div class="">Firstly I often dilute concentrated formalin to the
        standard 10% fixing strength using local tap water, this offers
        and usually maintains a neutral pH  (7.0 or just a bit below
        6.5).  If tap water is used to dilute alcohols of any sort, to
        preservative strength (70% or 80%) then this produces a
        precipitate, usually with 24 hours of mixing.</div>
      <div class=""><br class="">
      </div>
      <div class="">Where fluids combine with animal and plant material
        during the fixation and preservation stages, they often leach
        solute by-products into the fluids.  Over years the fluid and
        specimen build to an equilibrium and assuming that no lipid
        leaching or similar contamination occurs (the cholesterol for
        example but isn’t this partly soluble in alcohol?), then this
        can go unnoticed until the jar is topped up with fresh
        preservative fluid and then a snow-dome effect can occur - looks
        terrible but the specimens are undamaged. Once the ’snow’ has
        settled and the fluid has cleared (or partially) one can see the
        effect (if any) this change may have brought about on the
        specimens but usually it’s slight or no change at all.</div>
      <div class=""><br class="">
      </div>
      <div class="">Crystals of calcium stearate have been analysed (by
        FTIR) adhered to specimens - how does that come about?  The
        causes and results can be quite bewildering but a record of
        treatment/s to specimens is most useful.</div>
      <div class=""><br class="">
      </div>
      <div class="">Mould (I’m a Brit!) will only start to appear if the
        concentration of alcohol falls below 30%, similarly it can grow
        in formalin at c. 2-3% concentration (0.8 - 1% formaldehyde) -
        these are the critical parameters for mould growth and (it
        appears) that only certain species of mould can grow in these
        conditions.</div>
      <div class=""><br class="">
      </div>
      <div class="">If anyone has any further thoughts I would be most
        interested (I only have a week!)  Or examples of weird looking
        contaminants attaching to fluid-preserved material please post
        these to me off-list but not too many!</div>
