As @Bhmllr will tell you much better than I could (in his highly recommended blog), skeletal mounts have been a slightly divisive subject among scientists ever since the first mounts were erected: do they hold scientific value? The answer, is not a simple yes or no 2/n
The first skeletal mounts of which we have historical record, such as Bru's Megatherium (still mounted @MNCNcomunica in Madrid) or Peale's Mastodon, were assembled with different purposes: scientific research and show business. Both, however, tried their best at accuracy 3/n
