Creepy and cool.

I cannot believe I only just learned this term. I have a degree in biology! I've known what this is for decades! I must have forgotten adn rediscovered the actual name.

Anyway it's gorgeous, apparently there are companies that sell these, and I want a fish or turtle in a jar for my work desk.

I intern with a taxidermy company for fun, because I love getting to dissect unusual specimens and also we get to make movie props and stuff. We were sharing a studio space for years with this guy Nick - https://www.nighttimenicholas.com/ - I don’t know if he ships to the US but I can vouch for his work.

This place! https://cabinetofcuriosities.ca/

I'd never seen them before so it's a little freaky that you're seeing them for the first time today too.

I strongly suspect those are Nick’s. He pretty much has the market sewn up around the GTA.

As someone with an advanced degree in biology, and decades of experience, I've never heard that technique called anything other than 'clearing and staining'.

That IS different, and you're not alone--I've never heard of this process at all
