Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.
The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.
Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...
As regular readers of the bloggo will know, thanks to the good offices of our friends and benefactors Richie and Naomi West, Corinna and I are off to Texas in a few weeks to study these bloody blue dogs at first hand.

Jon there is a Yahoo list devoted to this sort of thing and skeleton preparation, cant remember its name "Skull Club" I think just look under skull collecting. There is a guy on there that works for a museum and would know. They also exchange skulls, and skeletions.
Good Luck

You could have a chat with your dentist, with regard to using the alginate material that is used for taking mouth impressions prior to making dentures.
That stuff is easy to mix (powder and water), it sets firmly in a couple of minutes, is light for transporting, picks up fine detail for later transfer to plaster castings.
How about this:
