This is mainly used for animals that are too small to be prepared for osteology in the conventional way, or to study ossification sequences, for example.
The jar does not contain formalin, because the specimens are fixed before they are prepared.
They are then placed in these flasks filled with pure glycerine and thymol crystals, whose function is to preserve the tissues and combat mould.
The animals are not killed to end up in these jars; they are often foetuses or stillborn animals, etc.
