That is the test the military used (maybe still uses) to see if the leather for their boots passes quality inspection.

If it was not treated with TCMTB, then fungi will eventually break down the leather. If it was, it will still be there.

We (humans) have leather that has survived in ancient ruins since the beginning of history.
