It is mainly used for animals too small to be prepared in osteology in a conventional way or to study ossification sequences, for example.
The vial does not contain formalin, as the specimens are fixed before preparation.
They are then placed in these vials filled with pure glycerin and thymol crystals, which have the function of preserving the tissues and combating mold.
The animals are not killed to end up in these jars; they are often fetuses or stillborn animals, food or animal feed, etc.
Here, the duckling comes from a death on breeding farm.
