[Greenan, Michele]

Hello all -- 

We had a horrible leak in our biology storage unit and some waste water
saturated the bottom of one of our bison mounts! We are not exactly sure of
what the best method is to dry the mount, but one suggestion has been to put
him in our freezer.  Will this work, or will freezing the fluid on the mount
cause the tissue to expand?  

Any advice on this would be great. 
Thank You, 
Michele Greenan
