No really sure what your question it....Hi Crystal!<br /><br />No really sure what your question it. I have no dry preserved any armadillo parts before. Only found them already mummified. But I know they can be preserved and used as an art/craft supply to make something like bowls or purses, etc. I'd say best place to look would be at taxidermy.net<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />jana Jana Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177465719755670007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555266887965093019.post-90355879019170246752014-02-21T18:09:20.454-05:002014-02-21T18:09:20.454-05:00I saw this awhile back, but had to re-read because...I saw this awhile back, but had to re-read because I wanted to double re-assure myself what you had stated here. My friend's dog shook a poor armadillo to death and he saved it and gave it to me. I was examining it (with proper gear) and was admiring it's beauty and I almost don't have the heart to let it decompose--I almost want to mummify it, if thats even possible. I don't know what their armor would do in borax. I also don't know if it may or may not have had leprosy, and if I should even try to mummify, or process it at all. It's curled in a perfect crescent shape and everything is intact with the exception of a pierced belly and right side. <br />I'm not worried, just cautious.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420099274842595565noreply@blogger.com
