Exhibits project again

From
Date
I first would like to thank everyone again for their replies regarding
my cenozoic museum exhibit project, I have been able to put together a
nice set of information.  I have one further request, the project 
requires me to set up an imaginary loan invoice for several specimens 
from other museums.  if there is any research collection that houses a
specimen of any of the following, I would like to get a specimen 
number and condition of loan if the specimen were to go out on loan.  

This is only to make the project a bit more realistic.  I would be 
looking for a reproduction of one of the early cetaceans, such as one 
of the Archaeocetes in order to show the evolutionary beginnings of 
whales, A piece of whale baleen,  I do not know if baleen is dried out
and preserved that way, being from North Dakota I have gotten very 
little exposure to whale specimens! and an ancestral carnivore, 
possibly a creodont mount?

  I would simply like to hear from collections that may house the 
above specimens and find out what shipping you would charge, how long 
of loan you allow ( the project indicates two years) and any other 
information on your procedure that may be helpful.

I thank all in advance for any information that you may have.  Thank 
goodness graduation is but a month away!
