There are medical museums full of organic material preserved sealed in formaldehyde for 100 years or more. I believe a museum in Washington DC has the pickled amputated leg of a general from the Civil War actually.

X-rays or other scans could easily tell. It wouldn't surprise me though if such testing is never done... as such a critter wouldn't fit into accepted scientific dogma. Wouldn't want to rock the boat now, eh?

I didn't realize it was sealed. I must've misread it. A leg from the 1800's? Cool...or ahh...gross..lol.

As far as it never being tested, it won't be because it isn't real. NObody is that altruistic not to have something tested in order not to "rock the boat." :) [unless they use it as a convenient excuse to avoid exposure of their quackery] Cheers!
