The vault would rely on its remoteness from human-made disasters and the Moon's naturally low temperatures to cryogenically preserve animal skin samples.

An idea worth pursuing I guess. My first question: in case this gets forgotten about in the distant future, how could it be marked so there’s a good chance of being found?
