We studied the ultrastructure of human skin in a particular form of postmortem transformation: so-called 'corification.' Six- and 12-month-old corpses were examined. The epidermis showed a remarkable ultrastructural preservation of its components comparable to freshly fixed material. The dermis was less well preserved with altered bandage of collagen fibrils and amorphous precipitates in the ground substance. No explanation is found for such a phenomenon.

Abstract
We studied the ultrastructure of human skin in a particular form of postmortem transformation: so-called 'corification.' Six- and 12-month-old corpses were examined. The epidermis showed a remarkable ultrastructural preservation of its components comparable to freshly fixed material. The dermis was less well preserved with altered bandage of collagen fibrils and amorphous precipitates in the ground substance. No explanation is found for such a phenomenon.
