<span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Once again it is Old Croone Day, the international holiday on which we celebrate the anniversary of the first recorded mention of the preservation of scientific specimens in alcohol. It was on 04 June of 1662 that
Dr. William Croone (1633-1684) demonstrated before the Royal Society of London “two embryos of puppy-dogs, which he had kept eight days, and were put in spirit in a glass-vial sealed hermetically.”

<span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">A graduate of Emmanuel College at Cambridge, Croone (sometimes spelled Croune) was a professor at Gresham College in London when he was invited to join a select group of people interested in science experiments,
which became the Royal Society of London in 1662. Croone was later </span><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">an anatomy lecturer and
</span><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Fellow of the College of Physicians. Croone’s main interests were physics, physiology (particularly the circulation of blood and muscle movement), and embryology—it was the latter that led to his discovery
of fluid preservation. <span></span></span></p>

dissecting a giant shark, Steno became the first scientist to prove that “tongue stones” were really fossilized shark teeth.
