[Nhcoll-l] Moldy mammal specimens

[Jessica E. Light]

Hi everyone,

Anyone have any advice for the best treatment for mold on preserved skins (small mammals, primarily bats, mostly on exposed wing and tail membranes and ear/face tissue) and skeletal elements (mainly skulls)? I'm looking for advice for treating the specimens themselves as well as the cases in which the specimens are stored.

Thank you in advance for your help!
Jessica
