The Dead Animal Library

Not as gruesome as it sounds, these hides and skulls are proving useful for determining pollution in modern day animals.

I think a human skin and skull library would be equally valuable for the same reason -- are you ready for your hide to be tanned?

I'm a bit skeptic about the ability to collect much useful data from a hide that has gone through a/the tanning process! The dried ones, maybe.
