they were entirely fabricated.
they were never published.
Haeckel's embryonic development drawings were controversial because he exaggerated similarities among different species' embryos to support his theory of evolution. While the drawings were based on real embryos, he manipulated them to emphasize commonalities more than what was actually observed. They were published, so the claim that they were never published is false. And they were not entirely fabricated; there was a basis in real embryonic forms, just with exaggeration.
