[Nhcoll-l] [EXTERN] Cetacean skeleton issues

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear Vanessa,

on a quick look, some seems like intense oil/fat staining, but especially on the second picture it looks like if there would be mould growth on top of the greasy surfaces.

With best wishes
Dirk

Dear all,

I have been going through our cetacean skeletons and have noticed some issues (see photos).

Any advice on how to treat such conditions and how long that would take?

Kind regards,
Vanessa
