LOS ANGELES (AP) - A pregnant woman lies on her side with a hand behind her head as if posing for a nude photograph. But her dead body isn't the only thing exposed. Her heart, intestines and 8-month-old fetus are visible as well.
The woman was one of more than 200 people who donated their cadavers for use in ``Body Worlds: The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies,'' which makes its U.S. debut Friday at the California Science Center.
Intended to teach people about human skeletal, cardiovascular and other systems, the final exhibit includes 25 bodies that have undergone a process called ``plastination'' in which body fluids are replaced with clear, pliable plastic.

I was checking this out and came across "adipocere" which is a natural form of mummification.
From:
http://adipocere.homestead.com/introduction.html
"Adipocere is a soapy, waxy, and in some instances, cheese-like substance derived from the fat and soft tissues of a deceased person or animal; it is a by-product of the natural process of decomposition. It may form in semi-moist or very wet environments, hence the relative terms of "dry" and "wet" adipocere."
This girl was buried in 1902 and exhumed in 1995
