<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We have a freeze ex. of Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) about 1,60 meters long. Our first idea was to send it to a professional taxidermist, but due to the special characteristic of the material, out of
the traditional hunting mammals, we have doubts that taxidermists we known could done a good work. Also we think about the skeleton preparation, but some problems could appear with the dermic shell, not bony shell, as we hear.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We would like to know if anybody have had experiences with this species and can help us and, of course, if anybody knows some references about skeleton preparation in this species.
