Thanks so much for all the quick responses to my question about cork.  I just 
came back from vacation and was pleasantly surprised with all the great 
responses!!  I will certainly check into several of these options.  My 
question now is:  Do you think it is better to pin tissue to a material that 
absorbs formalin so that the underside of the tissue is also exposed to the 
fixative?  Or does it not matter?  Many of you seem to use styrofoam and I 
was wondering if the tissue is fixed as well on the underside, where the 
tissue comes in contact with the styrofoam?  Thanks for the great responses!!!
