[Nhcoll-l] Is there a test to determine what fluid specimens are preserved in -- formalin or ethanol?

[Cole-Will, Rebecca]

Hello all,

We have several old collections in the park without any information about
how they were prepared.  Many need to be rehydrated and rehoused into
better storage.  Is there a simple test to determine what they are/were
preserved in before we rehydrate?

thank you
