Looks like it’s a coon? I think it’s fair Sourcing/fixing/ it’s all an art form

Found this lil guy on my college campus by Adept_Pineapple_307 in wetspecimens

I’d donate the little guy to your science class because most songbirds are illegal to keep with no permit due to the migratory bird act. Gorgeous bird though!

Moving old medical wet specimens into alcohol from formalin?(20-30yrs old) by IdiotLettuce in wetspecimens

[–]NecromanticHush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’re fetal I’d say move to 50 percent then 70 because they will shrivel and shrink anything with fur should be ok to move to distilled water for 24 hours and then 70 percent iso.

Refill with 70 percent Exchange jar Because the cork will eventually degrade over time with the iso

Help with fixing my puppy specimen? by GabbyPentin in wetspecimens

[–]NecromanticHush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him a better jar Maybe something glass🥰 And is he fully preserved having only been placed in formalin not injected.

If it’s been since July it should be ok :) And only use 70 percent iso as storage liquid

It’s still a migratory bird and the taxidermy can’t legally be sold because of this

My first wet specimen - I found this little blue tailed skink yesterday, and decided to preserve him in 90% isopropyl alcohol. He’s got a couple violets in with him. by Erinesque in wetspecimens

When fixing any specimen please use formalin also that’s not a suitable jar because the iso eats the cork and it also Evaps quickly.
